Lyrics: 4 Seasons
Album: New Times
Artist: Violent Femmes
 

How will i stand the summer
When spring was such a bummer
How will i weather my winter
When my fall was such a ballbuster
It’s spring and there’ll be no spring fling
When my winter was what a winner
And i am taking a fall
’cause if i ain’t got you i got nothing at all
How will i stand the summer
When the spring just made me dumber
How will i fare my fall
Will i lose my mind in the wintertime
It’s spring and i’m a spring ding-a-ling
It’s summer and i’m just a little dumber
And i am taking a fall
’cause if i ain’t got you i got nothing at all
Thru’ the 4 seasons
I’m searching for reasons
I’m not gonna take the spring
’cause the spring don’t mean a thing
I’m not gonna take the winter
My winter is a splinter
I’m not gonna take the summer
Summer is such a bummer
But i am taking the fall
’cause if i ain’t got you i got nothing at all
Thru’ the 4 seasons
I’m searching for reasons
Vivaldi, the 4 seasons
It seems to me to be a theme of love
With no variations of aggravations
Spring, summer, winter and fall
Spring, summer, winter and fall
Spring, summer, winter and fall
If i ain’t got you i got nothing at all
