paroles de chanson Miss January - Talib Kweli , The Procussions

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
