Dear John, I liked to turn you on

dear John, it started just for fun

dear John, you were just one of many other boys I knew

Dear John, too bad I've never seen

dear John, the difference between

dear John, the times that you were near or just somebody else

John, since you walked out on me I couldn't find a way

to be myself, to sleep at night, to fill my days

I know it's silly, but I miss you more each day

I even pray...

Dear John, I don't know what to do

dear John, it's hard what I've been through

dear John, I know you must have felt the same I'm feeling now

John, I wrote this letter just to tell you I've been wrong

I've tried so many times before I could send it along

Believe me, ev'ry word's another lonely night

but that's all-right...

Dear John, I loved to turn you on

dear John, it started just for fun

dear John, but if you leave me, please believe me

I can't go on

that's far away from fun, John
