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 allright

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
