Long Hot Summer

Lyrics for Long Hot Summer

I play out my role Why I've even been out walking They tell me that it helps But I know when I'm beaten All those lonely films And all those lonely parties But now the feeling is off-screen An' the tears for real, not acted, anymore, hmm I'm all mixed up inside I want to run, but I can't hide And however much we try We can't escape the truth and the fact is It don't matter what I do It don't matter what I do It don't matter what I do It don't matter what I do It don't matter what I do 'Cause I end up hurting you One more covered sigh And one more glance, you know means goodbye Can't you see that's why We're dashing ourselves against the rocks of a lifetime It don't matter what I do It don't matter what I do It don't matter what I do It don't matter what I do It don't matter what I do 'Cause I end up hurting you (In my mind different voices call) What once was pleasure now's pain for us all (In my heart only shadows fall) I once stood proud, now I feel so small (I don't know whether to laugh or cry) The long hot summer just passed me by Shu-du-dudu, du-de-de, pop Shu-du-du-du, du-de-de, pop (pop, oh) Shu-du-du-du, du-de-de, pop Shu-du-du-du, du-de-de, pop Shu-du-du-du, du-de-de, pop Shu-du-du-du, du-de-de, pop (pop, oh) Shu-du-du-du, du-de-de, pop Shu-du-du-du, du-de-de, pop Shu-du-du-du, du-de-de, pop Shu-du-du-du, du-de-de, pop (pop, oh) Shu-du-du-du, du-de-de, pop I want to run, but I can't hide It don't matter what I do It don't matter what I do It don't matter what I do It don't matter what I do It don't matter what I do 'Cause I end up hurting It don't matter what I do (what do you say 'bout it) It don't matter what I do (what do you say now) It don't matter what I do (I gotta to love ya) It don't matter what I do (oh, where can I go now) It don't matter what I do (hey) 'Cause I end up hurting It don't matter what I do (tell me what to baby) It don't matter what I do (sitting around with you baby) It don't matter what I do (hey) It don't matter what I do It don't matter what I do 'Cause I end up hurting you
