Twelve months ain’t enough time To make a move, probably need like eighty-one lives But I heard this through the grapevine Magic happens once a year January got me thinking about Getting you a flower, I’ve been feeling it now But February came, I can’t figure it out Don’t know why I live in fear March came around, so spring’s inbound But jokes on me, I’m the fool of the hour April, May, June, still stuck, I ponder Why am I not drawing near? And at the heat of it all My heart still stays cold The changing seasons change for reasons After August, I get old And at the end of it all I’m still falling like the leaves September, the colours change, and fearfully I stall Twelve months ain’t enough time To make a move, probably need like eighty-one lives But I heard this through the grapevine Magic happens once a year October night sets, I’m getting restless November winds blows through my chest, yes Carrying doubts that I’ve confessed It’s been a very special year Twelve months ain’t enough time To make a move, probably need like eighty-one lives But I heard this through the grapevine Magic happens once a year But this Christmas, I’m not holding back I need you under that mistletoe before the dawn light cracks And this Christmas, I’m making it clear No more waiting on you You’re a gift to me, my dear Twelve months ain’t enough time To make a move, probably need like eighty-one lives But I heard this through the grapevine Magic happens once a year Twelve months ain’t enough time To make a move, probably need like eighty-one lives But I heard this through the grapevine Magic happens once a year (Sorry we missed July)
