there's a ball on the kitchen table

i've never put away

your blue shirt with the coffee stain

still hangs where it will stay

i know they sing that silly song

about all he destroys

but the girl you left behind is strong

so just ignore the noise

i never knew jody and i know i never will

the fire we lit together

is burning bright as still

love is all for you is sleeping in your bed

and it may be years till you come home

perhaps much longer yet

no matter what you hear out there i'm waiting

don't forget

i can't shut off their silly song

i'm not there with your voice

but i don't do dear john's love their wrong

so just ignore the noise

i never knew jody and i know i never will

the song we sang together

i'm singing louder still
