I'm sitting here,In my own head thinkinghow you could be staring ingot my number tooand I'm writing youcontemplating on the paper what I should doOn the fireplace with the mail manshould I tell you or should I hold it inIf my heart wasn't in itbaby you could just forget itI'd be gone in a New York minuteYou never give me attentionI know you never had bad intentions for usso I'm writing you but I always fail to mentioncause you know I really don't like to fussso I'm gonna hold it inChorus:(I'm writing you a) Dear John letterI tried to stay but it never got betterI couldn't tell you face to face but I,I had to let you knowSometimes I wanna hit the door(I'm writing you Dear John)Sometimes I think that I've had enoughmy hands freeze and I can't write fast enough,I wanna get away but I can't obey when my heart speaks,you know I'm listeningsome days I'm really touchy andsome days I'm willing to forget andsome days I'm still in love with yousome days I'm sad and blueWhen I don't check myselfI get frustrated with youAnd I don't know what I'm gonna doI know that it's not just youIt's some of my negligence tooAnd I can't go through with mailing this to youChorus (2x)When I don't check myselfI get frustrated with youAnd I don't know what I'm gonna doI know that it's not just youIt's some of my negligence tooAnd I can't go through with mailing this to youChorus (2x)I'm writing this letterbecause it makes me feel better
