| 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

|
| The weight left in my heart is less heavy

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