Summertime
Summertime blows me away
And summertime I can't stay
It's not sensible, but I'm desperate
I'm a part of it
What I find takes me away
And what I find, I can't stay
It's inevitable though I can't let go
I will never know
Oh baby, "Why does August get the best of me?"
September comes now and I am too hot to see
My heart will keep burning for you
Summertime blows me away
And summertime leads me astray
With these hopeless dreams of these endless things
I may not achieve
What I see I don't know
But it's killing me
I can't see why everything crumbles
And I won't let it be
Oh baby, "Why does August get the best of me?"
September comes now and I am too hot to see
My heart will keep burning for you
'Cause what I got they say will last for several days
Weather man says, "Ain't nothing's going to change?"
My heart will keep burning for you
Oh, oh, oh, oh baby, "Why does August get the best of me?"
September comes now and I am too hot to see
My heart will keep burning for you
'Cause what I got they say will last for several days
Weather man says, "Ain't nothing's going to change?"
My heart will keep burning for you
For you
For you
And summertime I can't stay
It's not sensible, but I'm desperate
I'm a part of it
What I find takes me away
And what I find, I can't stay
It's inevitable though I can't let go
I will never know
Oh baby, "Why does August get the best of me?"
September comes now and I am too hot to see
My heart will keep burning for you
Summertime blows me away
And summertime leads me astray
With these hopeless dreams of these endless things
I may not achieve
What I see I don't know
But it's killing me
I can't see why everything crumbles
And I won't let it be
Oh baby, "Why does August get the best of me?"
September comes now and I am too hot to see
My heart will keep burning for you
'Cause what I got they say will last for several days
Weather man says, "Ain't nothing's going to change?"
My heart will keep burning for you
Oh, oh, oh, oh baby, "Why does August get the best of me?"
September comes now and I am too hot to see
My heart will keep burning for you
'Cause what I got they say will last for several days
Weather man says, "Ain't nothing's going to change?"
My heart will keep burning for you
For you
For you
