It must be summer
'Cause the days are long
And I dial your number
But you're gone, gone, gone
I'd set out searchin'
But the car won't start
And it must be summer
'Cause I'm fallin' apart
I try your sister
On the Jersey Shore
She said you might be stopping by
But she's just not sure
So I call your mother
On Long Island Sound
She said it must be summer
'Cause you're never around
And the sun is beatin' me senseless
I feel defenseless like a dyin' lamb
I don't wan't to lie by the oceanside
Don't want to play in the sand
Can't you understand?
Can't you understand?
It must be summer
'Cause the streets are bare
And I try your number
But you're just not there
And the sun keeps shinin'
Till it's dead and gone
And it must be summer
'Cause I can't go on
And the sun is beatin' me senseless
I feel defenseless like a dyin' lamb
I don't wan't to lie by the oceanside
Don't want to play in the sand
Can't you understand?
Can't you understand?
It must be summer
It must be summer
It must be summer
It must be summer
It must be summer
It must be summer
It must be summer
It must be summer
It must be summer
It must be summer
It must be summer
It must be summer
