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 AndI 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?
