Skeeter Davis - In the Summertime (You Don't Want My Love) lyrics

rate me

(Roger Miller)

In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green

And the red bird 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 red bird sings I'll be blue 'cause you don't want my love.

--- Instrumental ---

Once upon a time you used to smile and wave to me

And walked with me but now you don't cause you don't want my love

Some other girl is taking up all your time

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 red bird sings I'll be blue 'cause you don't want my love...
