summertime inside new york city

it's too hard to sleep

half alive and my mind is drifting

i'm twisting the sheets

cause my heart can't be satisfied

by anyone but you tonight

and when i try it only makes me blue

why can't you want me

like the other boys do

they stare at me while i stare at you

why can't you want me baby what can i do

i don't want other boys

i just want you

i don't want other boys

i just want you

i don't want other boys

i just want you

away

silhouettes a city of shadows

they all take your shape

in my defense

you've got me unraveled

and i can't see straight

cause my heart can't be satisfied

by anyone but you tonight

and when i try it only makes me blue

why can't you want me

like the other boys do

they stare at me while i stare at you

why can't you want me baby what can i do

i don't want other boys

i just want you

i don't want other boys

i just want you

i don't want other boys

i just want you

i don't want other boys

i just want you

i don't want other boys

i just want you

why can't you want me

like the other boys do

they stare at me while i stare at you

why can't you want me baby what can i do

i don't want other boys

i just want you
