Lyrics for Song: Dear John Letter
Lyrics for Album: Triple Feature [2010]
I'm sitting here
In my own head
Thinking how you could be staring in
Got my number two
And I'm writing you
Contemplating on the paper what I should do
On the fireplace
Or with the mailman
Should I tell you or should I hold it in
If my heart wasn't in it
Baby you could just forget it
I'd be gone in a New York minute
You never give me attention
I know you don't want bad intentions for us
So I'm writing you
But I always fail to mention
'Cause you know I really don't like to fuss
So I'm gonna hold it in
I'm writing you a Dear John letter
I tried to stay but it never got better
I couldn't tell you face to face but I
I had to let you know
Sometimes I wanna hit the door
I'm writing you Dear John
Sometimes I think
That I've had enough
My hands freeze and I can't write fast enough
I wanna get away
But I can't obey
When my heart speaks, you know I'm listening
Some days, I'm really touchy and
Some days, I'm willing to forget and
Some days, I'm so in love with you
Some days, I'm sad and blue
Oh, when I don't check myself
I get frustrated with you
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
I know that it's not just you
It's some of my negligence too
And I can't go through with mailing this to you
Chorus (2x)
When I don't check myself
I get frustrated with you
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
I know that it's not just you
It's some of my negligence too
And I can't go through with mailing this to you
Chorus (2x)
I'm writing this letter
Because it makes me feel better
I'm writing this letter
Because it makes me feel better
I'm writing this letter
Because it makes me feel better
I'm writing this letter
Because it ooh oh yeah
I'm writing this letter baby
I can't go through with it
Oh no, no, no
(Oh no, no, no)
I can't, I can't
I can't leave, I can't stay
I can't go and I Mmm
Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm
I'm writing you this letter
I'm writing you Dear John (Dear John)
Mmm, alright
I'm writing a Dear John letter (7x)

Dear John Letter
Released on Whitney Houston's 2010 compilation Triple Feature, 'Dear John Letter' stands as a poignant tribute to her enduring legacy.

As part of a collection celebrating her career, the recording highlights her ability to blend emotional depth with technical precision. While not a new studio recording, its inclusion underscores her status as a definitive voice in R&B and pop history. The song serves as a reminder of her capacity to transform personal themes of loss into universal anthems of resilience, fitting seamlessly within the broader context of her discography and the enduring appeal of her work. |
