I'm sittin' here in my own head
Тhinkin' how oh you could be startin' and
Got my number, too and I'm writing you
Contemplating on the paper what I should do
On the fireplace with the mailman
Should I tell ya or should I hold it in
If my heart wasn't in it
Baby, you can just forget it
I'd be gone in a New York minute*
You never give me attention
I know you don't have bad intentions for us
So I'm writing you
But, I always fail to mention
'Cause you know I really don't like to fuss
So I'm gonna hold it in
I'm writing you a
Dear John letter
I tried to stay but
It never got better
I couldn't tell you face to face but I
I had to let you know
Sometimes I wanna hit the door
I'm writing you dear John
Sometimes I think
That I've had enough
My hand's freeze
And I can't write fast enough
I wanna get away but I can't obey.
What my heart speaks
You know I'm listening
Somedays, I'm really touchy and
Somedays, I willing to forget and
Somedays, I'm still in love with you
Someday, I'm sad and blue
When I don't check myself
I get frustrated with you
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
I know that it's not just you
It's some of my negligence too
And I can't go through with mailing this to you
Dear John letter
I tried to stay but
It never got better
I couldn't tell you face to face but I
I had to let you know
Sometimes I wanna hit the door
I'm writing you a

Because it makes me feel better
I'm writing the letter, baby
I can go through with it
