It Must Be Summer

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

Cause I'm falling apart

I try your sister

On the Jersey Shore

She said you might be stopping by

But she's 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 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 therer

And the sun keeps shining

'Til it's dead and gone

And it must be summer

Cause I can't go on

And the sun is beating me senseless

I feel defenseless like a dying 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?
