Dear John

Dear John, it won't be long Before you read this and know I've left you Whatever it was that made us go wrong Please understand that I'll always blame you Dear John, you're on your own Please don't hate me, you have your freedom Remember it never was my fault Our partnership, can't ever be re-done And if you need a clean shirt John, I've left, just one You'll have to find the iron, and use it you were my friend and now i find, you're not so kind I gave you my love and let you abuse it Na na na na na na na na na Dear John, We had good times Though it sometimes felt like slavery This lesson is hard for you to learn I hope you're proud of my bravery Now don't forget, when all is said I still see red When you are with some other woman So don't you come near me again I am in pain I'm just not sure what I would do to you Na na na na na na na na na yeah Dear John, I hope you're sad Takes a bad time to make you bitter Remember it really was all your fault And my leaving should make you bitter Bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, Yeah,Yeah,Yeah Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na, Dear John To the tune of Hey Jude by The Beatles Competition entry

Ok I wasn't expecting that, in the UK a "Dear John" is a term used for a letter which says "I'm leaving you" I hadn't noticed the name coincidence - sorry John, I hope you are feeling better.
