Dear John Lyrics by John Lennon

John Lennon Anthology

0

Dear John
Don't be hard on yourself
Give yourself a break
Life wasn't meant to be run
The race is over, you've won

Dear John
Don't be hard on yourself
Give yourself a break
Life wasn't meant to be run
The race is over, you've won

Ha da doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
(Laugh)

Dear John
Don't be hard on yourself
Give yourself a break
Life wasn't meant to be run
The race is over

(Whistle)

And dear John
Put the TV on, have a snack
Wash your mother's back
The race is over
