|
In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
|
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
|
'cause you don't want my love
|
|
"Some other time", that's whatcha say when I want you
|
Then you laugh at me and make me cry
|
'cause you don't want my love
|
|
You don't seem to care a thing about me
|
You'd rather live without me
|
Than to have my arms around you
|
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone (all alone)
|
|
In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
|
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
|
'cause you don't want my love
|
|
<brief instrumental interlude¢æsounds like Floyd Cramer's piano>
|
|
Once upon a time you used to smile and wave to me
|
And walk with me but now you don't
|
'cause you don't want my love
|
|
Some other guy is takin' up all your time
|
Now ya don't have any time for me
|
'cause you don't want my love
|
|
You don't seem to care a thing about me
|
You'd rather live without me
|
Than to have my arms around you
|
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone (all alone)
|
|
In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
|
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
|
'cause you don't want my love
|
|
<brief instrumental-sounds like Boots Randolph's sax>
|
|
In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
|
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
|
'cause you don't want my love
|
|
(In summertime, in summertime when all the leaves are green)
|
In the summertime, I'll be blue all the time
|
'cause you don't want my love
|
