Lyrics:

Everybody was talkin' to me like I was a child
In their words I could hear them saying it is just a matter of time
Anyway it's a long, long race been run
Anyway it's a sad, sad song been sung

Dear John goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear John I've broken away

Vanity is a hard old lady, you can't read her mind
I'm a fool but I don't fool easy while you're foolin' around
Anyway I can hold my own tonight
I admit I was wrong and you were right

Dear John goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear John I've broken away

Dear John goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear John I've broken away


Dear John goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear John I've broken away

Everybody was talkin' to me like I was a child
In their words I could hear them saying it is just a matter of time
Anyway it's a long, long race been run
Anyway it's a sad, sad song been sung

Dear John goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear John I've broken away
