Your Daughter, John
Now lay me down on the warehouse ground.
Later on, I don't go there now.
On and on, I know what to say.
She's never been taught but she knows the way.
I was kidding love, I was kidding.
But you just weren't smart enough to know it.
I was lying love, they were lying
when they said "if you love someone, let them go."
Dear John, I know we got along.
I was right, sir, you were wrong.
She will marry some self-made man.
I still write songs,
but I miss your daughter, John.
Now there she lay,
with her nose in place,
broken wrist, just the picture of grace.
And on and on, what her father says
Well he's never been shown but he knows what it is.
I was kidding love, I was kidding.
But you just weren't smart enough to know it.
I was lying love, they were lying when they said
"if you love someone let 'em know."
Now, what if I stayed and did that thing for you?
What if I stayed and did that thing that's always true.
What's a man to do?
Dear John, I know we got along.
I was right, sir, you were wrong.
She will marry some self-made man.
I still write songs,
But I miss your daughter, John.
Dear John, I know we got along.
I was right, sir, you were wrong.
She will marry some self-made man.
I still write songs,
But I miss your daughter, John.
I miss your daughter, John.
Later on, I don't go there now.
On and on, I know what to say.
She's never been taught but she knows the way.
I was kidding love, I was kidding.
But you just weren't smart enough to know it.
I was lying love, they were lying
when they said "if you love someone, let them go."
Dear John, I know we got along.
I was right, sir, you were wrong.
She will marry some self-made man.
I still write songs,
but I miss your daughter, John.
Now there she lay,

But I miss your daughter, John.
I miss your daughter, John.
