I got home today   Took a look around   Trying to find that girl of mine   She could not be found      All her things were gone   She just left a note   It don't take no mastermind   To figure what she wrote      And she said dear John I'm moving on   By this time I'm gonna be long gone   Dear John c'est la vie   Dear John so long   You've seen the last of me      I don't want her back   I won't even try   This time ain't just au revoir   This time it's goodbye      We could not go on   Living like we were   I was just about to write   A Dear John note to her      I was gonna say   Dear John I'm moving on   By this time I'm gonna be long gone   Dear John c'est la vie   Dear John so long   You've seen the last of me
