What I thought that I knew I could easily do

Wasn't half of the story I see to be true

And I wish that I'd paid more attention to you

I'm in need of a favor, come over at two.

John, please take me away from this, whoah

John, please take me away from this

John, please take me away from this, whoah

John, please take me away from this.

I will wait by the door 'till a quarter to four

Just a beep, and I'll flee like a prisoner of war

I will thank you and love you like always before

And I'll owe you one more if we're watching the score.

Oh, what is it I've done

I'll cut my losses and run

From what had started as fun

But that's a long time done.

I can clearly now see what has happened to me

As I bit off a piece that I thought I could eat

But it bit me right back and the kick in the teeth

Is we'd all have been fine if I'd just let it be.

John, please take me away from this, whoah

John, please take me away from this

John, please take me away from this, whoah

John, please take me away from this.

John, please take me away from this, whoah

John, please take me away from this

John, please take me away from this, whoah

John, please take me away from this, whoah.
