I once loved you my sweet May,
I'd chase your April fools away.
Yes, I loved you my sweet May,
And just for you my guitar played.
Now I hang around in June,
And hope that July comes again soon.

You have my heart, I need that back.
(I need that)
(I need that back)

And if you're lonely my sweet May,
(my sweet May)
Just turn the radio up and love those blues away.
(those blues away)
I hear July will be around soon,
(be around soon)
And by then, by then they'll be playin' another tune.(another tune)
I once loved you my sweet May, (my sweet May)
But leaves of green have turned to grey.
(have turned to grey)
Oh, Yeah...

You have my heart, I need that back.
(I need that)
(I need that back)
You have my heart, I need that back.
(I need that)
(I need that back)

Oh, my May, my May, my May
Sweet May, Sweet May, Sweet May, Sweet May, Sweet May
How things have turned to grey, turned to grey
My May, how things have turned to grey, turned to grey

My May, my May, my May, my May, my May...
Yeah... (fade to end)
