I was a boy. You were a girl. Cannot make it any more obvious.

I had to go. You had to stay. What more can I say?

Went on a Mission, and asked you to wait

When I took you out for just one last Date.

We started to write, but not before long,

The letters stopped I knew something was wrong.

I was a Skaterboy, you said See ya later, boy!

Ill be right here when you get home.

Now theres this other guy, and Ill never ask you why.

At least not until my Missions done.

5 years from now, Ill be at home.

Ill be with my wife, youll be all alone.

Youll turn on TV. Guess who youll see?

Its gonna be me rockin MTV.

Ill cruise in my car, jam on my guitar.

And you thought Id never get very far.

And youll wonder why you couldnt wait

For just two years, now youve sealed your fate.

I went on a Jet-Plane, you said you would go indane

If you didnt say Yes to the new R-M.

But he turned and broke your heart, and now youve begun to start

To wonder: Why didnt I wait for him?

(Repeat)

Sorry, girl, but you missed out!

Well tough luck, Im engaged now!

We met while I was gone away,

And we get Married in just one day.

Too bad that you couldnt see

What a jerk that R-M could be.

You should have waited like you said,

But now you cry yourself to bed.

I was a Boy, she was a Girl.

 We met on my Mission, what can I say?

The Temple awaits. Tomorrow at three,

Well be sealed for Eternity.

Now that my lifes begun, Ill get to have lots of fun!

Ill be on stage performing at shows!

Ill get to the Studio, record this new song I wrote

Wrote to the girl that said: Dear John.
