I got home today

Took a look around

Trying to find that girl of mine

She could not be found

All her things were gone

She just left a note

It don't take no mastermind

To figure what she wrote

And she said dear John I'm moving on

By this time I'm gonna be long gone

Dear John c'est la vie

Dear John so long

You've seen the last of me

I don't want her back

I won't even try

This time ain't just au revoir

This time it's goodbye

We could not go on

Living like we were

I was just about to write

A Dear John note to her

I was gonna say

Dear John I'm moving on

By this time I'm gonna be long gone

Dear John c'est la vie

Dear John so long

You've seen the last of me
