Aimee Mann - Dear John Lyrics
Cotton candy was king
On the midway that spring
When I saw you in the ring on the lawn
Dear John
Oh, the lectures I gave
So the girls would behave
While the band played all your favorite songs
Dear John
Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on
But numbers come up and you're left to the fates
Though I always thought you were one of the greats
Said he thought you went out, but he couldn't be sure
And the midway I knew
Where the sky was so blue
With the memory of you is gone
Dear John
Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on
Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on
Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on
Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on
Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on

Good song.
"Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on."
That line shows up five times in Dear John. What the bloody hell does it mean? Aimee Mann is not the kind of artist who typically fosters fan-driven discussions of myriad voodoo interpretations of song meanings. But back to this line -- numerous questions, no answers.
@bminorscales in this part of the album, the main characters (John and Caroline) meet at a state fair in Virginia. They both work at the fair. I've always assumed that John, being good-looking, is admired by women sharing the underclass that John and Caroline are part of. Flattered by their attention, John feeds into the fray by slim acknowledgement of the women's approaches.
"John" of "Dear John" fame must have fans who require attentions so that they can...go on...
@Rajander Philip Yes, like he's doing them a favor. :D
here in Arkansas we don't have em, we just holler out our music from one hill to the next
in a way it is! it's a story about a boxer and his wife who has problem with drugs...it's not a book in the classical sence but every song is a chapter, a piece of the story...please forgive my english mistakes, I'm from Belgium where we speak franch, dutch and german. I do my best to talk, speak and write a decent english!
That is a brilliant interpretation of the song!
Your English is better than many muricans
@dearyogini : Down yonder here in the big ole city, we slickers kin actually check out CDs! Ain't that a blip, Jethro?
@dearyogini don't worry, it's just spam lol
no problem =)
