John looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see, how much I want him to love me
I bet they're beautiful those girls he talks about,and they've got everything that I have to live without.

John talks to me, I laugh 'cause it's so damn funny , I can't see anyone when he's with me.
He says he's so in love,every single time,I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night.
He's the reason for the teardrops on my violin,
The only thing that keeps me grinning despite my true feelings,
he's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do.

"John walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
"And there he goes,so perfectly, The kind of flawless that I want to be
They better hold him tight , give him all their love, look in those beautiful eyes and know they're lucky 'cause,

He's the reason for the teardrops on my violin,
The only thing that keeps me grinning despite my true feelings
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do.
So I get a cab home alone. I turn out the light , I'll lay his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight.

'Cause he's the reason for the tears on my violin,
The only one who's got enough of me to break my mask,
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough and he's all that I need to be happy.

John looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.
