In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, Ill be blue
cause you dont want my love
Some other time, thats whatcha say when I want you
Then you laugh at me and make me cry
cause you dont want my love
You dont seem to care a thing about me
Youd rather live without me
Than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and youre so all alone (all alone)
In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, Ill be blue
cause you dont want my love
<brief instrumental interludesounds like floyd cramers piano>
Once upon a time you used to smile and wave to me
And walk with me but now you dont
cause you dont want my love
Some other guy is takin up all your time
Now ya dont have any time for me
cause you dont want my love
You dont seem to care a thing about me
Youd rather live without me
Than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and youre so all alone (all alone)
In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, Ill be blue
cause you dont want my love
<brief instrumental-sounds like boots randolphs sax>
In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, Ill be blue
cause you dont want my love
(in summertime, in summertime when all the leaves are green)
In the summertime, Ill be blue all the time
cause you dont want my love
