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 streets The sun goes down alone I'm drivin' by your house Though I know you're not home But I can see you Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got your hair combed back and sunglasses on, baby And 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 you made me crazy? Remember how I made you scream No, 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 I can see you Your brown skin shinin' in the sun I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone And 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 Head 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 I can see you Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone
