In The Summertime Lyrics - 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 laugh 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
