Bummer in the Summer - Love, Arthur Lee

Well I remember when you used to look so good

And I did everything that I possibly could for you

We used to ride around all over town

But they’re puttin' you down for bein' around with me

But you can go ahead if you want to

Cause I ain’t got no papers on you

In the middle of the summer I had a job bein' a plumber

Just to pass till the fall it was you I wanna ball all day

Ah-we were walkin' along, honey, hand in hand

I’m a-thinkin' of you, mama, when you’re thinkin' of another man

But you can go ahead if you want to

Cause I ain’t got no papers on you

(No, I don’t I ain’t got no papers on myself)

All alone on the bone when I didn’t have a home

When I saw the way I was and I knew where I was supposed to be

I was twitchin' so I turned and it’s really hard to learn

That everyone I saw was just another part of me

But you can go ahead if you want to

Cause nobody’s got no papers on you

(No, babe, it’s just a falsehood)
