You came 'round today You never even knocked on my door Your note tried to say That you don't love me no more

Everybody was talking to me Like I was a child In their words I could hear them saying It's just a matter of time Anyway it's a long long race been run Anyway it's a sad sad song been sung Dear John goodbye she said Sometimes it's hard she said Dear John I've broken away Vanity is hard old lady You can't read her mind I'm a fool but I don't fool easy While you're foolin' around Anyway I can hold my own tonight I admit I was wrong and you where right Dear John Goodbye she said Sometimes it's hard she said Dear John I've broken away
