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?
