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 (I try your sister)
On the Jersey shore (on the Jersey shore)
She said you might be stopping by
But she's just not sure (she's just not sure)
So I call your mother (I call your mother)
On Long Island Sound (on Long Island Sound)
She said it must be summer
'Cause you're never around (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 (the sun keeps shining)
'Til it's dead and gone ('til it's dead and gone)
And it must be summer
'Cause I can't go on (can't go on, can't go on, 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?

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
