Dear John Lyrics


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
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 goneYou thought the day would never come
Never ever thought that you
Would be reading 'Dear John'

Tamia Washington-Hill (born May 9, 1975 in Windsor, Ontario) is a Canadian R&B singer. She is noted for her spinto mezzo-soprano, a rangy three octaves, capable of both dark contralto depths and angelic soprano highs. Tamia has released three albums since her discovery by Quincy Jones in 1995, at the age of nineteen: 1998's Tamia, 2000's A Nu Day, and 2004's More. All achieved moderate success on R&B charts and urban radio, but failed to achieve mainstream success. Tamia has since split from her label and has released a new album, Between Friends independently.
She also created the Original Soundtrack of the film Honey. Her latest release is "A Gift Between Friends," which includes all of "Between Friends" and a three-song bonus CD of holiday songs.

She is married to the NBA basketball player Grant Hill.

Biography:

Tamia is an urban R&B singer/songwriter who released her self-titled debut album in the spring of 1998. A native of Canada, Tamia got an early start in the music industry, singing on "You Put a Move on My Heart," the first single from Quincy Jones' 1994 hit album Q's Jook Joint, when she was only a teenager. That paved the way for the release of her debut album in 1998.

Tamia was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario. As a child, she took acting and singing lessons, eventually performing in a number of local choirs and theatrical presentations. She soon earned a reputation and several awards, including the YTV Vocal Achievement Award in 1993. The following year, she won the Steve Ross Music Scholarship at the American Academy of Achievement's Annual Salute to Excellence in 1994. That same year, she attended a party her manager Brenda Richie held for Luther Vandross. At that party, she met Quincy Jones, who became taken with Tamia's talent. By the end of the year, she had sung "You Put a Move on My Heart" for Jones' new album, Q's Jook Joint. The song became a Top Ten R&B hit and earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance; another song on the album, a duet with Babyface entitled "Slow Jams," was nominated for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group. She also sang "Missing You" with Brandy, Gladys Knight, and Chaka Khan on the soundtrack for the 1995 film Set It Off. "Missing You" was also nominated for a Grammy, making for a total of three nominations for Tamia before she had even released an album.

Such exposure, plus nominations from the NAACP Image Awards and the Soul Train Music Awards, made Tamia a hot commodity in the music industry. She carefully crafted her debut album over the course of 1996 and 1997, taking time out to play a small role in Speed II: Cruise Control in 1997; she also sang "Make Tonight Beautiful" for the soundtrack. Tamia finally released her debut album, Tamia, in April 1998. The album boasted an impressive list of collaborators and producers, including Jermaine Dupri, Keith Crouch, Tim Kelly & Bob Robinson, Stevie J., Mario Wynans, and Quincy Jones. Two years later and newly signed to Elektra, Tamia released her sophomore effort A Nu Day, featuring production collaborations from Missy Elliott, Dallas Austin, and Shep Crawford. The single "Stranger in My House" became a surprise Top Ten hit in 2001, and her second album for Elektra (Still) followed in 2004. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
