JANUARY, FEBRUARY
(Alan Tarney 1980)

as recorded by Barbara Dickson
1980


You just say the things you want to hear,
Like a fool I believed everything was clear,
But now I feel so distant I don't know what to say,
The things I thought important are just another day,
But you and I are miles and miles apart,
You got me on the road to one more broken heart!

January, February, I don't understand
Why it is you say you're leavin', then you turn around.
You won't settle down, you've got both feet off the ground,
January, February, don't you come around!

"Wake up!", I tell myself, but I don't even hear,
One more night, another day, another year.
It doesn't seem to matter 'cause you don't seem to care,
If only there was some way out, a way to anywhere!
But you and I are miles and miles apart,
You got me on the road to one more broken heart!

January, February, I don't understand
Why it is you say you're leavin', then you turn around.
You won't settle down, you've got both feet off the ground,
January, February, don't you come around!

Doesn't seem to matter 'cause you don't seem to care,
If only there was some way out, a way to anywhere!
But you and I are miles and miles apart,
You got me on the road to one more broken heart!

January, February, I don't understand
Why it is you say you're leavin', then you turn around.
You won't settle down, you've got both feet off the ground,
January, February, don't you come around!
January, February, don't you come around!
January, February, don't you come around!
January, February, don't you come around!
January, February, don't you come around!
January, February, don't you come around!
January, February, don't you come around!
January, February, don't you come around!...
