A long winter and a red hot summer I don't remember very much about that year What I recall is a fear of falling in love While I was I gave everything I had to my lover It's no wonder people felt that I disappeared And at the end of the day all I had for myself Was my own lonesome tears But I made her happy And did that gladly But oh it don't mean a thing Yeah all that's over now Me and my sister went to Arizona Seeing our mom while she was fighting her disease And doing what everybody said she needed So she could come home And it was late in the night when I called you One in the morning right outside of a motel Just checking in to tell you I was scared And that I felt You didn't love me You said you love me honey Oh it don't mean a thing Yeah all that's over Now when I dream all I see Is you being untrue to me Telling lies, shaking hands Having laughs over and over again The punchline of a joke I am Oh it don't mean a thing Yeah all that's over But it don't mean a thing Yeah all that's over But it don't mean a thing
