Dear John Letter

Whitney Houston

Come on
What
Uh
Uh

I'm sitting here
In my own head
Thinking how, oh, you could be staring in
Got my number too
And I'm writing you
Contemplating on the paper what I should do
On the fireplace with the mail man
Should I tell you or should I hold it in
If my heart wasn't in it
Baby, you can just forget it
I'd be gone in a New York minute

You never give me attention (uh)
I know you don't want bad intentions for us
So I'm writing you (you)
But I always fail to mention (um)
Cause you know I really don't like to fuss
So I'm gonna hold it in (hold it in)

I'm writing you a Dear John letter (Dear John letter)
I tried to stay but it never got better (never got better)
I couldn't tell you face to face, but I
I had to let you know
Sometimes I wanna hit the door
I'm writing you, Dear John

Sometimes I think that I've had enough (enough)
My hands freeze and I can't write fast enough
I wanna get away (mmm, hmm) but I can't obey (oh, yeah)
When my heart speaks you know I'm listening
Some days, I'm really touchy and
Some days, I'm willing to forget and
Some days, I'm still in love with you
Some days, I'm sad and blue, oh

When I don't check myself
I get frustrated with you
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
I know that it's not just you
It's some of my negligence too
And I can't go through with mailing this to you

Dear John letter (Dear John letter)
I tried to stay but it never got better (never got better)
I couldn't tell you face to face, but I
I had to let you know
Sometimes I wanna hit the door

I'm writing you a Dear John letter (Dear John letter)
I tried to stay but it never got better (never got better)
I couldn't tell you face to face, but I
I had to let you know
Sometimes I wanna hit the door
(I wanna hit the door, hit the door, hit the door)

Uh, uh

When I don't check myself
I get frustrated with you
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
I know that it's not just you
It's some of my negligence too
And I can't go through with mailing this to you, oh

Dear John letter (a Dear John letter, ah, letter, ah, letter, ah, letter)
I tried to stay but it (better) never got better
I couldn't tell you face to face, but I
I had to let you know
Sometimes I wanna hit the door

I'm writing you a Dear John letter (Dear John letter)
I tried to stay but it never got better
(It never got better, it never got better)
I couldn't tell you face to face, but I (sometimes)
I had to let you know (sometimes I know, no, no)
Sometimes I wanna hit the door (I wanna hit the door)
I'm writing you, Dear John

I'm writing this letter
Because it makes me feel better
I'm writing this letter
Because it makes me feel better
I'm writing this letter
Because it makes me feel better
I'm writing this letter
Because it, ooh, oh, yeah

I'm writing this letter, baby
I can't go through with it
Oh, no, no, no (oh, no, no, no)
I can't, I can't
I can't hear, I can't say, uh
I can't go with, uh
Mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Uh
I'm writing you this letter
I'm writing you, Dear John
Mmm…
I'm writing, I'm writing a Dear John letter
I'm writing a Dear John letter
I'm writing a Dear John letter
I'm writing a Dear John letter
I'm writing a Dear John letter
I'm writing a Dear John letter
I'm writing a Dear John letter
I'm writing a Dear John letter
