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
                      Cos 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
                        Cos 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?
