It's September Lyrics

[Intro]

It's September, yeah

You been gone so doggone long, well

It's September, yeah

You been gone all summer long, well



[Verse 1]

Last long-distance call you made, must have been a lie

'Cause you said that you'd be home by the fourth of July

Tell me why you still gone

It's October just two weeks to Halloween

It is October, baby

I still haven't heard or seen hide nor hair of you, alright



[Verse 2]

Why would you wanna make me blue after all I've done for you?

You know I've always taken the best care of you

Tell the truth now, baby

Tell the truth now, baby

Happy Thanksgiving, baby

Have you lost that lovin' feeling?

Well

Happy Thanksgiving, baby

Have you lost that lovin' feeling?

Oh, no



[Verse 3]

You know the children ask me everyday

Why did you go away

I just give them a alibi

I can't look them in the eye

Woman, how long are you gonna be gone?

Are you gonna be gone?

Merry Christmas, baby, well

I just sent you a gift to remind ya

Oh, I want you to know



[Verse 4]

That the door is still open

Even though my heart is sad and broken

Girl, I'm just hopin' that you won't make me wait

I just can't wait

I just can't wait



[Outro]

Until next September, 'cause that's such a long, long time

Don't make me wait, baby

Are you trying to drive me outta my mind?

Oh, no, baby

We started off together, baby

And now you wanna leave me behind, baby

Why you wanna do it, huh?

You know I love you, baby

Oh, well

I love you better than I do myself

Here it is October, November, December
