(GustafsonMacauley)

Everybody was talkin' to me like I was a child

In their words I could hear them saying it's just a matter of time

Any way 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
