Lyrics

Dear John, Dear Jane
The Duet Version

Fast cars and football fields just can't hide the way I feel
A week before the high school dance
I slipped a note in your locker
I took a chance
I started it out Dear Jane

A diamond ring and invitations
Smiling faces and congratulations
The night before we say I DO
So many things I wanna say to you
I leave flowers inside
And a note for my bride
That I?d started out Dear Jane


CHORUS:
Dear Jane, I'll never stop my love for you
And I will remain just as true to you
As my letters I started out Dear Jane

Female Verse:
Between a full time job from nine to five
Cooking and cleaning and a carpool to drive
I wanted out, but decided to stay
I saw you reading that note that I meant to throw away
That I started out Dear John

I left you in the black of night
If I stay things will never be right
My heart is empty and my soul will die
All this time we've lived a lie
A kiss on your cheek as I turn and go
And in your hand a wedding band and a note
That I started out Dear Jane

CHORUS 2:
Dear Jane, I'll never stop my love for you
Even after all the pain you put me through
With your letters you started out Dear John
