Dear John

You had just walked in from work

And there's a letter in the kitchen

With your name on it

Inside, you will find

An answer for each question you haveYou had to know the day would come

That I'd find out that you are a liar

And a player and the list goes on

So it hurts you now

But it would hurt even more if I stayedSo hope that you can understand

That you were once my man

But it's time to move on

Since you're playing games, ohYou thought the day would never come

Never ever thought that you

Would be reading 'Dear John'

You be sure to read each line

Line by line and take your timeYou thought the day would never come

Never ever thought that you

Would be reading 'Dear John'

By the time you read this letter

I'll be feeling much better

So long, that means I'm goneGuess that you are wondering

"How did she know that I

Was the type to play you?"

If you read, you'll find outI have to admit

That I was right from the start

And I never took the time to ask myself

Why, oh, why would you waste your time

On a nigga in the club with a group of thugs?You shoulda known it was on

When I kept calling your job

And they said that you were sick

And so I paged you, don't get no call back

Now it all makes senseThe two of us are not meant to be

So by the time you read this letter

And try to make things better

Save your lines but read each one of mineWish you'd see your game

Was not strong enough

To keep me holding on

Now you be strong, time for me to go'Coz you thought the day would never come

Never ever thought that you

Would be reading 'Dear John'

You be sure to read each line

Line by line and take your timeYou thought the day would never come

Never ever thought that you

Would be reading 'Dear John'

By the time you read this letter

I'll be feeling much better

So long, that means I'm goneYou thought the day would never come

Never ever thought that you

Would be reading 'Dear John'

You be sure to read each line

Line by line and take your timeYou thought the day would never come

Never ever thought that you

Would be reading 'Dear John'

By the time you read this letter

I'll be feeling much better

So long, that means I'm goneI wish I could see the look on your face

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

And you wish you could just see my face

No, no, no, no, no, noYou thought I was playin' when I said you had

One more time, one more time

But if you can play this game

Then I can play it too'Coz you thought the day would never come
