about

Inspired by a drunken night in Manchester and a stranger who doesn't know what 'no' means.

lyrics

John, I didn’t mean to I didn’t mean to hurt you
It’s just you’ve done me wrong

John, my self esteem was my self esteem was brand new
But didn’t take too long to lose it

John, you didn’t mean to you didn’t mean to hurt me
But drew on my my withdrawing nature

John, you’re not a man and you’re a monster either
I’ve seen your type before believe me

There’s no need to dance and sing about it
Can’t say that I’d like to make a habit
Of this tawdry night champagne and damage
Laughing makes it hurt less don’t you see?

I didn’t like you, I never liked you either
You just got me blind drunk you bastard

John, I’ve got your card and I’ve got your dirty secret
And stole ten pounds from your back pocket

Hate that you’ve made me the other woman
Pictures with your girlfriend smiling in them
Do my best impression of a human
Seeing as how I’ve brought this on myself

Would you cry for me John
Would you cry anyway
Would it make you believe in love again?

Did you cry for me John
Did you cry anyway
Did it make you believe in love again?

Would she cry for me John
Would she cry anyway
Could she ever believe in love again?

Should I cry for you John
Should I cry anyway
Will I ever remember your face again, face again?
