Bummer In The Summer

(album: Forever Changes - 1967)

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 putting you down for being 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 being a plumber
Just to pass till the fall it was you I wanna ball all day
Ah-we were walking along, honey, hand in hand
I'm a-thinking of you, mama, when you're thinking 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 twitching 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)
