Dear John
ËþÃ×ÑÇ(Tamia) Lyrics

You had just walked in from work
At the moment you arrived home from work, a letter written to you was waiting in the kitchen

And there's a letter in the kitchen with your name on it
The letter is meant for you specifically and is located in the kitchen

Inside, you will find an
Once you read and open the letter, you will find

Answer for each question you had
There will be an answer in the letter to every question you may have had

You had to know the day would come
It was inevitable that this day would come

That I'd find out that you are a liar
I have discovered that you are not truthful

And a player, and the list goes on
I know that you are a womanizer, and there is more evidence to support this

So it hurts you now
You are currently in pain due to my actions

But it would hurt even more if I stayed, so
If I remained with you, both of us would experience even more pain

Hope that you can understand
I hope that you are able to comprehend

That you were once my man
You were previously someone I considered my partner

But it's time to move on
It is a necessity that I progress and move forward

Since you're playing games, oh
I recognize that you are playing with me and not taking our relationship seriously

You thought the day would never come
You believed that this day would never arrive

Never ever thought that you
You completely disregarded the possibility of

Would be reading Dear John
Having to read a letter stating our relationship is over

You be sure to read each line
It is crucial that you read every sentence with care and precision

Line by line, and take your time
Read thoroughly and pace yourself to avoid overlooking any significant details

By the time you read this letter
When you receive this message and read it

I'll be feeling much better
I will have improved emotionally

So long, it means I'm gone
Farewell, I have left

Guess that you are wondering
I assume that you are curious

How did she know that I
What clues did she notice to realize that I

Was the type to play you
Was the person who mistreated and manipulated you

If you read, you'll find out
If you read the letter, you will obtain your answer

I have to end it
I must break up with you

Bet I was right from the start
I am confident that I made the correct decision from the beginning

And I never took the time to ask myself
I regret not properly evaluating whether

Why, oh, why would you waste your time
I am unsure why you would spend your time and effort

On a nigga in the club with a group of thugs
Pursuing a man who frequents nightclubs and associates with individuals involved in illegal activity

You shoulda known it was on
You should have recognized this relationship was destined to fail

When I kept callin' your job
When I repeatedly dialed the number to your workplace

And they said that you were sick
It was stated that you were unwell

So I paged you, don't get no call back
After sending you a page, you did not respond or return my call

Now it all makes sense
All of the pieces have come together to form a clear picture

The two of us are not meant to be
Our relationship was never meant to flourish

And try to make things better
And attempt to reconcile

Save your lines
Don't waste your breath with hollow apologies

But read each one of mine
Pay close attention to my message

Wish you'd see your game was not
I hope that you realize your scheme was not effective

Strong enough to keep me holding on
Insufficient to keep me in the relationship

You be strong, time for me to go cuz
Be resilient, it's time for me to move on because

I wish I could see the look on your face
I would love to witness your expression

Ha ha ha, ha ha ha
Expressing amusement

And you wish you could just see my face
You desire to observe my own reaction

No no no, no no no
Expressing disagreement

But if you can play this game
If you are capable of participating in these actions

Then I can play it too, cuz...
Then I am also capable of engaging in this behavior because...
