The Procussions - Miss January lyrics

rate me

CHORUS

I had to say goodbye to Miss January

She had a hold of my mind for so long and

I learned a lesson in life from Miss January

The weight left in my heart is less heavy

When the first light shines, the first light shines in June

VERSE 1

Heh, I know you met her before

The apple of my eye, lady d'jour

The queen of my heart, love of my life

Make her my wife, lover and friend

I'll never love another again, you knew her

I met her out at the park

She had a glow about her even though her long hair was dark

At first she didn't pay me no mind

Every word that I spoke got a reply of a roll in her eyes

I said if opposites attract then we fit

You see I think that we should be together and you, you feel the opposite

Heh, she laughed knowin' I was tryin' to be cute

And wrote her number in the palm of my hand in dark blue now

Goes the story of the boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl

Takes advantage of boy and knowing that I could've been so blind

From the start, playin' my part, she had rehearsed every line

And I fell for it every time without shame, playin' the game

Caused the most beautiful pain

But never this playful, love was a lame joke

A black comedy written just to entertain folks

I knew I had to go when opportunity spoke

I left all of my emotions in the form of a note

And with the dark blue ink of the pen

I washed my hands free of the situation comin' to end

God I pray it never happens again, again

CHORUS

I had to say goodbye to Miss January

She had a hold of my mind for so long and

I learned a lesson in life from Miss January

The weight left in my heart is less heavy

When the first light shines, the first light shines in June

VERSE 2

When true love got the power to change, any circumstance

I knew we were far from the same, but still I took a chance

Wish I could've looked in advance to your advances

Knowin' I'm the book that you've read to your advantage

I understand it's not like we planned it with the worst intentions

Taken for granted I was stranded in your first impressions

I know it hurts to question what will be a curse or blessin'

I guess it's worth confessin' maybe then we'll learn our lesson

Searchin' for your attention, hopin' you were doin' the same

Pursuin' the fame, knowin' that only you were entertained

Usin' me and I was new to the pain

'Cuz rejection I hadn't met him though I knew him by name

True I grew from the pain, in the days where I'd pay anything

Standin' there like John Cusack from Say Anything

Planning on for you to call back but then it never rings

There were so many things, there were so many signs

Now I'm chasin' wings knowin' it's a waste of time

Until my god reminds me of what I truly need

I take a look behind just before your beauty leaves

To get a glimpse of you, hopin' that you see me too

And I'll be starin' at two people that we never knew

And probably never know, hopin' I'll forever grow

Into the one who finally gave the strength to let you go

And change my ideas on what true love is

I'll wipe my eyes clear, and rise above this

CHORUS

I had to say goodbye to Miss January

She had a hold of my mind for so long and

I learned a lesson in life from Miss January

The weight left in my heart is less heavy

When the first light shines, the first light shines in June
