Summertime, summertime, summertime, oh.
Summertime, summertime, summertime, blues.

I’ve got these summertime blues, I don’t know about you,
But I’mma just start talkin’ ‘cause I got nothing to lose now,
‘Cause she’s long gone, she’s all ready moved on.
And I just keep singin’ even though I know that my phone’s not ringin’ (no)
She’s not gonna be callin’, ‘cause she’s already forgotten me.
But I’m still hung up on her, yo I never should’ve hung up on her,
On that long distance phone call girl I did you so wrong,
We were apart and that summer felt so long

Summertime, summertime, summertime, oh.
Summertime, summertime, summertime, blues.

Well it’s about time I be cleanin’ up my act,
And I know sometimes it seems like I be chasin’ ass (no),
I’m not really ‘bout that game, and I know it sound so strange,
That I feel broken hearted, even though it’s been so long since I started,
Anything that you might call, serious or real at all.
But these words keep flowin’ like waves on a beach,
These girls all seem so out of reach,
Was it something I said, something I did?
Either way I’m still alone and I can see she’s with him.

Summertime, summertime, summertime, oh.
She’s with him and he’s with her,
Hear me spillin’ out my heart girl with every single word
Summertime, summertime, summertime, blues.
And I pretend I don’t care, but who am I kiddin’ oh I wish that she was here

Say that I’m still fine waitin’ on an older time (oh I’m still waiting)
Still in line, still blind, just waitin’ on an empty mind (oh I’m still waiting)
It’s day or night, night or day, no time to fight, but you can’t stay,
It’s day or night, night or day, no time to fight, but you can’t stay.

Now that you’ve reached the last verse,
You should know before long I’ll be stayin’ in a hearse,
Stupid cupid, keeps messin’ up my heart,
He’s screwin’ up his aim and now I’m right back at the start.
His shots are so bad that there’s arrows in my eyes,
I’m gonna start to cry,
(Yeah) ‘Bout these girls that I don’t have,
God damn I’m supposed to be a grown man.
And I feel like I’ve lost her, though she was never mine in the first place,
Should be playin’ baseball tryna get to third base,
‘Stead I’m on the sidelines losing the three legged race.
‘Cause I’m all on my own, I can’t do this alone,
Girl you were never mine to lose,
It doesn’t matter ‘cause I’ve still got these summertime blues.

Summertime, summertime, summertime, oh.
Then it’s fall and next it’s winter, soon comes spring still I’m never gonna get her.
Summertime, summertime, summertime, blues.
You think I’m singin’ ‘bout you, girl ain’t it obvious you know I always do.
Summertime, summertime, summertime, oh.
And I’m still so confused, trying to find my muse.
Summertime, summertime, summertime, blues.
I guess I’m just too scared, rollin’ over at night girl and you’re not there.
