(Eddie Cochran/Jerry Capehart)
Well I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollar
Everytime I call my baby, to try to get a date
My boss says, "No dice, son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well my mom 'n' papa told me, "Son, you gotta make some money
If you wanna use the car to go ridin' next Sunday"
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
"Now you can't use the car 'cause you didn't

Saker som hon gör…
Lisa ligger naken bredvid sin industriman
Hon ligger tyst och vaken, en docka vid sin barm
Hon läser sin dagbok, varje sida är som ett brev
Hon viskar i hans öra; det här är vad jag skrev
Katarina klockor ringer och natten är vår
Katarina klockor ringer och natten är vår
Kommer du ihåg den kvällen, vi täffades i industriland
Solen sken så starkt och klart, och vi låg med varann
Hon ser sig om i rummet som delar hennes hemlighet

Well I spent a lifetime lookin' for you
Singles bars and good time lovers are never true
Playin' a fools game and hopin' to win
And tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again

Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes
and lookin' for traces
of what I'm dreamin' of
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover
God bless the day I discover
another heart
Lookin' for love
I was along then no love in sight
And I did everything I could to get me through the night
Don't know where it start

There are times I fear I lose myself
I don't know who I am
I get caught up in the struggle and the strain
With my back against a stonewall
My finger in the dam
Losin' strength and goin' down again
And I take a look around me
My eyes can't find the sun
There's nothing wild as far as I can see
Then my he
