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 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 cause 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 it must be summer it must be summer it must be summer
