It must be summer
Cause the days are long
And I dial your number
But you're gone gone gone
I'd set out searching
But the car won't start
And it must be summer
Cos I'm falling 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 beating me senseless
I feel defenseless like a dying lamb
I don't want 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 shining
Til it's dead and gone
And it must be summer
Cos I can't go on
And the sun is beating me senseless
I feel defenseless like a dying lamb
I don't want to lie by the oceanside
Don't want to play in the sand
Can't you understand?
Can't you understand?
