Chorus:
C
I'm not saying goodbye today
Am                                   F 
I hear you knockin', please just go away
F
Not gonna listen to a word you say
G 
I'm not saying goodbye today


C
If this is Tuesday, it's Mary Lou
Am
Callin to tell me that she thinks we're through
F
Callin to tell me she just ain't ready
G
That she's leavin me for my friend Freddie

C
If this is Wednesday, could be Ruth
Am
Tryin to give me the ugly truth
F
She's had it up to here and that's all she's got to say
G
Love Ruthie, PS stay away

Everytime I open a letter
I cross my fingers but it don't get better
Little notes with hearts on the "I's"
Only takes a paragraph to say goodbye

The phones ringin off the kitchen wall 
All the messages are breakup calls
Leave your number let the teardrops start
At the tone, baby, break my heart

Chorus

If this is Thursday, it might be Isabella
Callin to tell me she found a new fella
Goes by the name of Big Ben
Sure don't ever wanna see my face again

If this is Friday, it's Sherry Ann
Callin to say she wants a real man
If this is Saturday, it's Jackie and Joy
Callin to tell me that they're done with boys

The other day a girl named Candy
Had to tell that she still can't stand me
I haven't seen her since my bad hair phase
What is it with these women these days

Why is everything I do is wrong
Why can't we all just get along
Why do all the letters start with Dear John
My name's not John


Chorus
