That summer feeling

That summer feeling

That summer feeling

When there's things to do

not because you gotta

When you run for love

not because you oughtta

When you trust your friends

with no reason not ta (nada)

The joy I name shall not be tamed

And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you

One day in your life

When the cool of the pond makes you drop down on it

When the smell of the lawn makes you flop down on it

When the teenage car gots the cop down on it

The time is here for one more year

And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you

One day in your life

That summer feeling

That summer feeling

That summer feeling

If you've forgotten what I'm naming

You're gonna long to reclaim it one day

Because that summer feeling is gonna haunt you

One day in your life

And if you wait until your older

A sad resentment will smoulder one day

And Then that summer feeling is gonna haunt you

And that summer feeling's gonna taunt you

And then that summer feeling is gonna hurt you

One day in your life

When even fourth grade starts looking good

Which you hated

And first grade's looking good too

Overrated

And you boys long for some little girl

That you dated

Do you long for her of for the way you were

That summer feeling is gonna haunt you

One day in your life

When the Oldsmobile has got the top down on it

When the catamaran has got the drop down on it

When the flat of the land has got the crop down on it

Some things were good before and some things never were

But that summer feeling is gonna haunt you

One day in your life

Well when your friends are in town and they've got time

for you

When you were never hanging around and they don't

ignore you

When you say what you will and they still adore you

Is that not appealing it's that summer feeling

That summer feeling is gonna haunt you

One day in your life

It's gonna haunt you

It's gonna taunt you

You're gonna want this feeling inside one more time

It's gonna haunt you

It's gonna taunt you

You're gonna want this feeling inside one more time

One more thing

When you're hanging around the park with the water

fountain

And there's the little girl with the dirty ankles cuz

she's

On the swings you know and all the dust is kicking up

And you remember the ankle locking

And the way she flirted with you

For all this time how come

Well that summer feeling is gonna haunt you

One day in your life

You'll throw away everything for it

You'll throw away everything for it

One more thing

Well when the playground that just was all dirt

Comes haunting

And that little girl that called you a flirt

Memory comes taunting

You pick these things apart they're not that appealing

You put them together and you'll get this certain

feeling

And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you

One day in your life

It's gonna haunt you

It's gonna taunt you

You're gonna want this feeling inside

One more time
