0:00Dear John (Album) - Amerie
0:25Dear John right now you're probably wondering
0:28Where I am who I'm with
0:30And why you're reading this
0:33But before I go into what I'm up to let me confess
0:37Dear sweetheart I know about your secret
0:41Where you've been who you with I saw you out with her
0:45And yet you always try to maintain
0:47How I got a good thing and I can't do better
0:51Do you remember what you told me
0:53'Cause I remember it well
0:57Do you remember how you said no one could want me
1:00And I said time will tell
1:02That's why I'm so sorry that I couldn't be there
1:06To see the look upon your face
1:09And I'm so sorry that it took me so long
1:13So long to put you in your place
1:15I'm writin' you this letter just to let you know
1:18That that I still love you but I won't be comin' back
1:22You had me at hello now I gotta say goodbye
1:25'Cause one too many times you made me cry
1:28Dear John I'm hopin' that this finds you well
1:31Dear John but you put me through a living hell
1:34Dear John you left me with nothin' to do
1:37Dear John dear John I'm leaving you
1:46I'm leaving you
1:53Dear John by now you'll probably see
1:56My clothes are gone keys are gone and I ain't bluffin'
2:01So don't even bother to call my number
2:05'Cause I got it changed
2:06Why John couldn't just see
2:09I gave my heart gave my time and I got nothin'
2:14So it shouldn't be surprising this letter I'm writin'
2:17That you're there by yourself
2:19Do you remember what you told me
2:22'Cause I remember it well
2:25Do you remember how you said no one would want me
2:29And I said time will tell
2:31That's why I'm so sorry that I couldn't be there
2:35To see the look upon your face
2:37And I'm so sorry that it took me so long
2:41So long to put you in your place yeah
2:44I'm writin' you this letter just to let you know that
2:47That I still love you but I won't be comin' back
