Dear John
Tamia

Oh yeah, oh


You had just walked in from work

And there's a letter in the kitchen with your name on it

Inside, you will find an

Answer for each question you had

You had to know the day would come

That I'd find out that you are a liar

And a player, and the list goes on

So it hurts you now

But it would hurt even more if I stayed, so


Hope that you can understand

That you were once my man

But it's time to move on

Since you're playing games, oh


You thought the day would never come

Never ever thought that you

Would be reading Dear John

You be sure to read each line

Line by line, and take your time


You thought the day would never come

Never ever thought that you

Would be reading Dear John

By the time you read this letter

I'll be feeling much better

So long, it means I'm gone


Guess that you are wondering

How did she know that I

Was the type to play you

If you read, you'll find out


I have to end it

Bet I was right from the start

And I never took the time to ask myself

Why, oh, why would you waste your time

On a nigga in the club with a group of thugs

You shoulda known it was on

When I kept callin' your job

And they said that you were sick

So I paged you, don't get no call back

Now it all makes sense


The two of us are not meant to be

So by the time you read this letter

And try to make things better

Save your lines

But read each one of mine


Wish you'd see your game was not

Strong enough to keep me holding on

You be strong, time for me to go cuz


You thought the day would never come

Never ever thought that you

Would be reading Dear John

You be sure to read each line

Line by line, and take your time


You thought the day would never come

Never ever thought that you

Would be reading Dear John

By the time you read this letter

I'll be feeling much better

So long, it means I'm gone


You thought the day would never come

Never ever thought that you

Would be reading Dear John

You be sure to read each line

Line by line, and take your time


You thought the day would never come

Never ever thought that you

Would be reading Dear John

By the time you read this letter

I'll be feeling much better

So long, it means I'm gone


I wish I could see the look on your face

Ha ha ha, ha ha ha

And you wish you could just see my face

No no no, no no no

You thought I was playin' when I said you had

One more time, one more time

But if you can play this game

Then I can play it too, cuz...


You thought the day would never come

Never ever thought that you

Would be reading Dear John

You be sure to read each line

Line by line, and take your time


You thought the day would never come

Never ever thought that you

Would be reading Dear John

By the time you read this letter

I'll be feeling much better

So long, it means I'm gone
