[Verse 1]
Got me feeling like the elephant
In every room I'm walking into, yeah
We started out innocent
'Til I got pulled right into your issue, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tired of sending hugs and kisses, oh
I'm tired of all your burning bridges
[Chorus]
It's like, damn
Why you gotta be so cold in the summertime, summertime?
I was really rooting for ya, yeah (I was rooting for ya)
I was really rooting for ya, yeah yeah (I was, I was rooting for ya)
It's like, man
Why you gotta be so cold in the summertime, summertime?
I was really rooting for ya (I was rooting for ya)
We were really rooting for ya, yeah-eh, yeah (Rooting for, rooting for ya)
[Post-Chorus]
I was rooting for ya, I was rooting for ya
[Verse 2]
Now I see you're having so much fun with everyone
You had so much fun making fun of
Did you go and bump your head?
Did you forget where you came from?
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tired of sending my well wishes
I'm tired of all your burning bridges, yeah
[Chorus]
It's like, damn
Why you gotta be so cold in the summertime, summertime?
I was really rooting for ya, yeah (I was rooting for ya)
I was really rooting for ya, yeah yeah (I was, I was rooting for ya)
It's like, man
Why you gotta be so cold in the summertime, summertime?
I was really rooting for ya (I was rooting for ya)
We were really rooting for ya, yeah-eh, yeah (Rooting for, rooting for ya)
[Bridge]
I'm not even brokenhearted (Uh-uh)
I'm just a little disappointed (Uh-uh)
What a shame, we coulda had a good thing
You let go of a good thing
[Chorus]
It's like, damn
Why you gotta be so cold in the summertime, summertime?
I was really rooting for ya, yeah yeah
I was really rooting for ya (Oh, I was really rooting for ya)
It's like, damn (Damn)
Why you gotta be so cold in the summertime, summertime?
(In the summertime, in the summertime)
I was really rooting for ya, oh no (I was rooting for ya)
We were really rooting for ya, yeah yeah (Rooting for, rooting for ya)
(We were really rooting for ya)
[Outro]
It's like damn
Why you gotta be so cold?
(I was rooting for ya, I was rooting for ya)
Why you—
I was really, I was really rooting for ya
