The Boys of Summer

1. Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach

I feel it in the air, the summer's out of reach

Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone

I'm drivin' by your house, though I know you're not at home

R: But I can see you

Your brown skin shinin' in the sun

You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby

And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

2. I never will forget those nights, I wonder if it was a dream

Remember how you made me crazy? remember how I made you scream

Now I don't understand what happened to our love

But babe, I'm gonna get you back, I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

R: I can see you

Your brown skin shinin' in the sun

I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone

I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

3. Out on the road today, I saw a black flag sticker on a Cadillac

A little voice Inside my head said, Don't look back. You can never look back

I thought I knew what love was What did I know?

Those days are gone forever, I should just let them go but

R: I can see you

Your brown skin shinin' in the sun

You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby

And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

R: I can see you

Your brown skin shinin' in the sun

You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby

I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone
