Houston, Whitney - Dear John Letter Lyrics

I'm sending you a Dear John Text LOL.

I adore this song. The added darkness in her voice really worked here

my favorite song from the album....i really don't understand why this album didn't go platinum. its a good album and whitney did her best on this album even though she going through personal things in her life....its so sad man but this album will always be a classic to me

That's a fkn shame that they killed that girl. FOH whitney Houston never took baths.

On that night, shes left alone in a hotel room and she decided to take a bath and falls asleep.

And then 2 yrs later her daughter was in the same situation. Wtf!!

Why are people not pressing the fucking detectives. But who knows what's going on behind closed doors.

Like oj .

“When I don’t check myself, I get frustrated with youuuuuu” one of my favs

I was humming this song today had to come by and listen.

My favorite 2019 break up song

Wow she was such a woman. Wow that voice is gorgeous 🌹 One of the best albums 🌹

this cd was considered garbage. idk who these critics are. I guess because Nippy was doing RnB instead of pop. So i guess RnB is garbage because this whole cd was fire

I love this song cuz the background harmonies & arrangement gives me LIFE. And of course the typical, classic Nippy vamp out at the end.

Should have been played more. Many people could relate to this song. Love it!!

Haters go hate Miss Whitney because they think they are "saint"😩
You were trully Blessed and Blessed us too
Miss you

I love this song

Dear John...I've decided to leave, goodbye

Lyrics follow

I'm sitting here,
In my own head thinking
How you could be staring in
Got my number too
And I'm writing you
Contemplating on the paper what I should do
On the fireplace with the mail man
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 never had 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
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 want to 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 want to 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 still in love with you
Some days I'm sad and blue
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
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 want to 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 want to 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 still in love with you
Some days I'm sad and blue
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 want to 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 want to 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 still in love with you
Some days I'm sad and blue
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

I'm writing this letter
Because it makes me feel better

I love this song. I could hear TLC recording this song also. T-Boz leading of course and Chilli sings the part "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, its some of my negligence too, and I can't go through with mailing this to you"

11/2018💖My favorite RnB night song.

Love Whitney RIP my love

Early 2000s Whitney was lit!!

SO SWEET TO HEAR THIS JAM IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SMASH HIT FROM THE JUMP ,RIP WHITNEY WE MISS U TREMENDOUSLY.

One of my all time favorite Whitney cuts.

I'm writing you dear john......

This song shouldve had a music video

Facts, I can see Nippy now being sassy and throwing shade to the dude like "gtfoh" 😂😂

I Like This Song..... Listen in 2018.... Here 2018

11/2018💗 My favorite RnB night song.

**it never got better** don't i know it, whitney. no man is worth repeated blind faith for no reward.

Love this tune and my favourite on the album

RIP Whitney Houston, you are still deeply missed after 6 years.

I was always routing for her to get it together....hence it never happened now here we are ...missing her presence immensely !

Every single song on this album was good!

I agree. This is when the industry was helping her to destroy herself.

I used to have this on repeat!

Essy S. you something like me, if I really like a song, I'll play it over and over😂😁☺️💯💯

Nice ass cut #VeryUnderrated💿 looking back it should be a very appreciated album the early 00's probably was the best time to do industry convincing music while still remaining original Michael, Janet, Whitney, Prince, etc all had good work around this time 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯

Seattle Washington

Never quite understood why the album and the song basically got ignored. Not at her peak, but superb nonetheless, and musically and lyrically on a par with her best

The album was ignored because this was the time that all her drug use came out, the disastrous Diane Sawyer interview and she pretty much disappeared. Which sucks because this album was that heat

Love this song. One of favs 😍😍

I love this album even though it was rated the worst album but I thought it was amazing 😃

whitney houston I agree with you. I think that the ratings was given because of her current situation at that and her past was known at this time. But, I believe that this album was overlooked and underrated.

The album sold millions of records

@breone mcnill How was it more balanced? 🤔

Some tracks would've been singles.

I disagree the one with my love is your love on there had some bangers that’s definitely my favorite one
