"In The Summertime" lyrics

In The Summertime

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 what you 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
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

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 taking up all your time
Now you don't have 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
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
