Now lay me down on the warehouse ground
Later on I don`t go there now
On and on I know what to say
She`s never been taught but she knows the way
I was kidding love I was kidding
But you just weren`t smart enough to know it
I was lying love they were lying
when they said if you love someone let them go
Dear John I know we got along
I was right sir you were wrong
She will marry some self made man
I still write songs
but I miss your daughter John
Now there she lay
with her nose in place
broken wrist just the picture of grace
And on and on what her father says
Well he`s never been shown but he knows what it is
I was kidding love I was kidding
But you just weren`t smart enough to know it
I was lying love they were lying when they said
if you love someone let `em know
Now what if I stayed and did that thing for you
What if I stayed and did that thing that`s always true
What`s a man to do
Dear John I know we got along
I was right sir you were wrong
She will marry some self made man
I still write songs
But I miss your daughter John
Dear John I know we got along
I was right sir you were wrong
She will marry some self made man
I still write songs
But I miss your daughter John
I miss your daughter John
