In The Summertime - Roger Miller

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 takin’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.
