Yeah when that summer sun starts to beatin' down And you don't know what to do Inflatable pool full of dad's hot air I was three years old Splashin' everywhere And so began my love affair With all my friends

Gotta love this American ride Both ends of the ozone burnin' Funny how the world keeps turning I love, this American ride That's us, that's right Look ma, no hands Winter gettin' colder, summer gettin' warmer Tidal wave comin' cross the Mexican border

Summer nights all night (Do you remember those) Dancin'in the light of love (Dancin' in the light of love) Summer nights so right Couldn't last beyond September Livin' for your love, Dreamin only of Oooh summer nights Girl it always seems about September

Yeah when that summer sun starts to beatin' down And you don't know what to do Inflatable pool full of dad's hot air I was three years old Splashin' everywhere And so began my love affair With all my friends

My English love affair The picture burning in my brain, kissing in the rain I can't forget, my English love affair Today, I'm seven thousand miles away The movie playing in my head of a king size bed means I can't forget Before I knew it, it was serious

Oh my darling, oh my love The things that we are made of I remember driving down the rutted roads late at night Following the summer moon, bright as any pair of headlights I felt the air on my face and the night pressed inside my palm A moment captured

Yeah when that summer sun starts to beatin' down And you don't know what to do Inflatable pool full of dad's hot air I was three years old Splashin' everywhere And so began my love affair With all my friends

Yeah when that summer sun starts to beatin' down And you don't know what to do Inflatable pool full of dad's hot air I was three years old Splashin' everywhere And so began my love affair With all my friends

Waiting for the summer I'm standing by the corner The place we used to meet Right there where I told you You're running off with me We dreamed about the water Or sitting by a stream We were young and in love We took a train, right after sunset

I don't wanna waste it, don't wanna waste it I don't wanna waste it, don't wanna waste tonight And I need your love I don't wanna say goodbye to another night And watch you walk away And make the same mistakes, this time And I don't wanna let it burn in
