Heat wave boiling And New York's a jungle Lovers wanted Coked up night companion I wipe the sweat from my face In the summertime I fear I'm gonna lose my mind But she's always avoiding falling in love Yes, it's due to a life of a private affair She's always avoiding falling in love Yes, it's due to a life of a private affair Curtains clapping thrown open window Eyes are watching Neon lights, the cracks in the pavement lure me away In the summertime I fear I'm gonna lose my mind But she's always avoiding falling in love Yes, it's due to a life of a private affair She's always avoiding falling in love Yes, it's due to a life of a private affair I was a playboy from Dubai to Paris She wore a necklace made of pharaohs bones Made our acquaintance on a sheetless mattress She pressed my lips, she said this won't last long But she's always avoiding falling in love Yes, it's due to a life of a private affair She's always avoiding falling in love Yes, it's due to a life of a private affair She's always avoiding falling in love Yes, it's due to a life of a private affair She's always avoiding falling in love Yes, it's due to a life of a private affair
