Summertime blows me away   And summertime I can't stay   It's not sensible, but I'm desperate   I'm a part of it      What I find takes me away   And what I find, I can't stay   It's inevitable though I can't let go   I will never know      Oh baby, "Why does August get the best of me?"   September comes now and I am too hot to see   My heart will keep burning for you      Summertime blows me away   And summertime leads me astray   With these hopeless dreams of these endless things   I may not achieve      What I see I don't know   But it's killing me   I can't see why everything crumbles   And I won't let it be      Oh baby, "Why does August get the best of me?"   September comes now and I am too hot to see   My heart will keep burning for you      'Cause what I got they say will last for several days   Weather man says, "Ain't nothing's going to change?"   My heart will keep burning for you      Oh, oh, oh, oh baby, "Why does August get the best of me?"   September comes now and I am too hot to see   My heart will keep burning for you      'Cause what I got they say will last for several days   Weather man says, "Ain't nothing's going to change?"   My heart will keep burning for you   For you   For you
