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
