The Procussions Miss January Lyrics

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 shine, the first light shines in June

(Verse 1)
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 know 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 and a rise
I said if opposites attract then we fit
You see I think that we should be together and you, you feel the opposite
She laughed knowing I was tryin' to be cute
And wrote a 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 coulda been so blind
From the start playing my part, she had rehearsed every line
And I fell for it every time without shame
Playing the game, cause the most beautiful pain
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 wash my hands free of the situation coming to end
While I pray it never happens 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 shine, the first light shines in June

(Verse 2)
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 have looked in advance to your advances
Knowing I'm the book that you 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 confessing maybe then we'll learn our lesson
Searching for your attention hoping you were doing the same
Pursuing in vain knowing that only you were entertained
Using me and I was new to the pain
Cause rejection I hadn't met her though I knew her by name
True I grew from the pain and the days where I'd pay anything
Standing there like John Cusack, (you?) Say Anything
Plannin' on for you to call back but then it never rings
There were so many things, there were so many signs
Now I'm _____ 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 hoping that you see me too
And now we staring at two people that we never knew
And probably never know, hoping I'll forever grow
Into the one who finally gained the strength to let you go
And change my ideas on what true love is
I wipe my eyes clear, and rise above this

(Chorus)
I had to say goodbye to Miss January
She had a hold of 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 shine, the first light shines in June
