Send My Love To John Lyrics – Rina Sawayama
Artist: Rina Sawayama
Release date: September 16, 2022
Album: Hold The Girl
Label: Dirty Hit
Cross the border in the summer of ’73
Left my mother to go after the American Dream
Ooh, threw away my name
Ooh, it’s easier when it sounds the same
All I ever wanted was for you to have a better chance
Go to college, find a good girl that you take to a dance
Ooh, pictured you with her
Ooh, but that was never who you were
And I’m sorry for the things I’ve done
A misguided love to my only son
Trying to protect you but I guess I was wrong
So send my love, send my love to John
Saw the way the kids treated you everyday at school
I should’ve blamed them but instead I hid behind the Bible’s rules
Ooh, prayed to God about
Ooh, but all you needed was my love
And I’m sorry for the things I’ve done
A misguided love to my only son
We had both had to leave our mothers to get the things we want
So send my love, send my love to John (Ooh)
Ooh, John
And I see that he takes care of you
From the food he makes, he’s there for you
In all the ways I never was, ooh
And I’m sorry for the things I’ve done
A misguided love to my only son
But I love to see you happy
And right where you belong
So send my love
Oh, send my love
Send my love to John
