In the summertime, driving up the west coast

Me and my valentine, we ain't got no place to go

Nothing ahead but the open road

Oh

They're in the badlands, looking for me

We're in the city, getting high with the freaks

Put the jukebox back on Lou Reed

I'm free

Hey, it's my life

Hold on tight

It's my life

I, I, I

I know what to do

Now that I've got a man like you

In the summertime

It can be so cruel

Baby, don't be cruel

I, I, I

I know what to do

Now that I've got a man like you

In the summertime

It can be so cruel

Baby, don't be cruel

Baby, don't be cruel

Baby, you're so cool

I need real love

Fucking in the backseat

Real love

Just like Sid and Nancy

Real love

Nothing more than you and me

Six-foot angel, love of my life

I'ma make it out of here, dead or alive

I'ma gonna make this boy my wife

I'm free

Hey

It's my life

Hold on tight

It's my life

Real love is a dangerous game, but it's one that I wanna play

Real love is a gun to my brain, but I'm drawn like a moth to the flame

In the summertime

In the summertime

In the summertime

I, I, I

I know what to do

Now that I've got a man like you

In the summertime

It can be so cruel

Baby, don't be cruel

Baby, don't be cruel

Baby, you're so cool

I need real love

Fucking in the backseat

Real love

Just like Sid and Nancy

Real love

Nothing more than you and me

Real love

Fucking in the backseat

Real love

Just like Sid and Nancy

Real love

Nothing more than you and me
