January sick and tired you've been hanging on me You make me sad with your eyes you're telling me lies Don't go don't go January don't be cold Don't be angry to me. You make me sad come and see. Oh January don't go don't go. Life gets me higher I can show I can go I can wake up the world. Little world gotta know you gotta show you. Sun like a fire Carry on don't be gone Bring me out of my home sweet home Gotta know me gotta show me You've been facing the world You've been chasing the world. January sick and tired you've been hanging on me . . . Time it's a flyer Sunny days fly away English summers are gone. So long gotta go up gotta grow up.
