January Man

Secondary lovers ferry
I could be your dream
Contrary to the fact that I can't read your mind
She's gone very solitary
Lately I'm without my cherry
She's into grabbing all she can

I know that we can't carry on
No chance to finish what we've done
So take a piece of what's been happening
Learn from every trick she's given
Don't expect to ever see her
She's just used her for her mister

January and the ferry
To the real man she will marry
She could smash through any picket line
There's one thing I know now
I bet that she'll always get by

I was such a fool not to admit
To my best friends that I was
Taken blind with her good looks
I swore that it was her mind
She even said she'd liked my family
Yet she never led me to her bed

There was that once when we got close
She said stop before everybody knows
Another day, another up the junction
Take my hand into destruction
Heaven help me find out
What that girl was all about

Oh, I can't believe the temporary
Way you run your January
Surely I could easily change your mind
Lucy was my lady, she had
Pockets full of laser beams
But diamonds really were
This girl's best friend

Then what did I mean to you?
Was I just the man who kept your meter
Running till another mister

January takes the ferry
To the real man she will marry
She could smash through any picket line
Oh, I can't believe the military
Way you ran your January
Surely you could easily change my mind
There's one thing I know now
I bet that you'll always get by

I was just your January man
I was Mr. January Man
