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

You're just not smart enough to know

I was lying love they were lying

They said when you love someone you should let 'em 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

I miss your daughter john

There she lays with her nose in place

Broken wrists just a picture with 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

You just weren't not smart enough to know

I was lying love they were lying

They said when you love someone you should let 'em know

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
