BLAME IT ON THE SUMMER
Basia?It?s That Girl Again (2009)

Day by day and night by night 
Love?s a dream heaven sent
I am yours and you?re mine
What more can I pray for
But every minute, every hour
I play a waiting game
?Cause once again the spring is all around

I know so well your smiling face
That greets me every day
You stand by me I stand by you
All?s good and well, so
Day by day and night by night
I play a waiting game
?Cause my world will soon be turning upside down
In summer

CHORUS:
Blame it on the summer
I can?t help how summer makes me feel
Blame it on the summer
I don?t care if what I feel is real
Blame it on the summer
I can?t explain what summer makes me do
I want to break away and fly away
?Cause summer makes me run away from you

Years go by a playful time
Resign come what may
You keep on loving me
And I still keep on wishing
?Cause every hour here in silence
The game remains the same
And the summer makes my world turn upside down
Oh, summer

CHORUS

I want to break away and fly away
Summer makes me run away
Summer makes me run away
Summer makes me run away
Summer makes me run away from you

CHORUS

Blame it on the summer
Blame it on the summer
Blame it on the summer 
Blame it on the summer
Blame it on the summer
I want to break away and fly away
Blame it on the summer 
?Cause summer makes me run away from you 
Blame it on the summer
From you
