Summer girls come and summer girls go I get stuck with the Catholics stick with the hoes They all come a-knockin', you don't even know But it's gettin' kinda late and I gotta go
Back to my hometown born and raised All the kids are off at school gettin' jobs that pay More than writing these songs for you But it's gettin' kinda late and it's all I know how to do know how to do
Your eyes move across the room And find their way to me So I'll just smile and look away And lead you on another day Don't stay the same You're dying to believe the words I wrote down were for you But you were wrong, you're never wrong, s-s-summer girl S-s-summer girl
I quit saving money and I spent it all I bought a tape recorder and some alcohol I spent a couple of weeks with the friends I need This old guitar and these piano keys
And the songs that got locked in this room Like girls that haven't heard these tunes She said, "Would you come to my room?" "No, thanks, I think I'm leaving soon."
So try your best to make me stop and wonder Give me your worst to make me stay tonight
Your eyes move across the room And find their way to me So I'll just smile and look away And lead you on another day Don't stay the same You're dying to believe the words I wrote down were for you But you were wrong, you're never wrong, summer girl Summer girl
Some girls came and some girls went But it's the summer girls I won't forget, s-s-summer girl
Your eyes move across the room And find their way to me So I'll just smile and look away And lead you on another day Don't stay the same You're dying to believe the words I wrote down were for you But you were wrong, you're never wrong (x2) Summer girl
