Amerie- Dear John Lyrics

Amerie- Dear John Lyrics

Dear John, right now you`re probably wondering
Where I am, who I`m with
And why you`re reading this
But before I go into, what I`m up to let me confess

Dear sweetheart, I love about your secret
Where you`ve been, who you with, I saw you out with her
And yet you ever try to maintain
How I got a right thing and I can`t do better

Do you recollect what you told me?

`Cause I think it well
Do you recollect how you said no one could wish me?
And I said time will tell

That`s why I`m so bad that I couldn`t be there
To see the expression upon your face
And I`m so sad that it took me so long
So yearn to put you in your place

I`m writin` you this letter but to let you know
That, that I even love you but I won`t be comin` back
You had me at hello, now I gotta say goodbye
`Cause one too many times you made me cry

Dear John, I`m hopin` that this finds you well
Dear John, but you put me through a living hell
Dear John, you left me with nothin` to do
Dear John, dear John, I`m leaving you, I`m leaving you

Dear John, by now you`ll likely see
My clothes are gone, keys are asleep and I ain`t bluffin`
So don`t even trouble to visit my number
`Cause I got it changed

Why John, couldn`t hardly see?
I gave my heart, gave my sentence and I got nothin`
So it shouldn`t be surprising, this letter I`m writin`
That you`re there by yourself

Do you recollect what you told me?
`Cause I think it well
Do you recollect how you said no one would wish me?
And I said time will tell

That`s why I`m so bad that I couldn`t be there
To see the expression upon your face
And I`m so sad that it took me so long
So yearn to put you in your place, yeah

I`m writin` you this letter but to let you acknowledge that
That I even love you but I won`t be comin` back
You had me at hello, now I gotta say goodbye
`Cause one too many times you made me cry

Dear John, I`m hopin` that this rule you well
Dear John, but you put me through a living hell
Dear John, you left me with nothin` to do
Dear John, dear John, I`m leaving you

But I can`t end this with those saying
Thank you for everything you put me through
I`ve come so far alone, now I`m leaving
I`m leaving, I`m leaving, I`m movin` on

And now I`m so much wiser
`Cause the trouble that you gave me
Never ever put me down
You just made me strong
I`m leavin`, I`m leavin`, I`m leavin`, John, I`m gone

I`m writin` you this letter but to let you know
That, that I even love you but I won`t be comin` back
You had me at hello, now I gotta say goodbye
`Cause one too many times you made me cry

Dear John, I`m hopin` that this rule you well
Dear John, but you put me through a livin` hell
Dear John, you left me with nothin` to do
Dear John, dear John, I`m leaving you
