Everybody was talking to me

Like I was a child

In their words I could hear them saying

It's 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 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 where 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 talking to me

Like I was a child

In their words I could hear them saying

It's 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

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 aw
