The Boys of Summer

Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach I feel it in the air The summer's out of reach Empty lake, empty street The sun goes down alone I drive by your house I know you're not home I can see you Your brown skin shining in the sun You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I never will forget those nights I wonder if it was a dream Remember how I made you crazy? Remember how you made me scream? And, no, I don't understand what happened to our love But babe I'm gonna get you back Gonna show you what I'm made of I can see you Your brown skin shining in the sun I see you walking real slow and smiling at everyone I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone Out on the road today I saw a "dead-end" sticker on a Cadillac And a little voice inside my head said "Don't look back, you can never look back." I thought I knew what love was What do I know? Those days are gone forever I should just let them go but... I can see you Your brown skin shining in the sun You got the top pulled down and the radio on, baby I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I can see you Your brown skin shining in the sun You got your hair slicked back and those Waferers on, baby I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone
