Adam Schlesinger - It Must Be Summer lyrics

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 ...
