Lyrics
That summer feeling, that summer feeling, that summer feeling
Folks, when there's things to do not because you gotta
When you run for love not because you outta
When you trust your friends with no reason, nada
This joy I've named shall not be tamed
That summer feeling's gonna haunt you the rest of 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 gets the cop down on it
That time is here for one more year
That summer feeling's gonna haunt you the rest of your life
If you've forgotten what I'm naming
You're gonna long to reclaim it one day
You see that summer feeling's gonna haunt you the rest of your life
But if you wait until your older
A sad resentment will smolder one day
And then the summer feeling will come haunt you
Then that summer feeling will come taunt you
That summer feeling will hurt you later in your life
I speak of summer feeling
When the playground that just was all dirt comes haunting
And someone who called you a flirt comes taunting
It's not that these things alone were appealing
What I'm now revealing is a certain feeling
That summer feeling is gonna haunt you the rest of your life
What time, well just me
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
What I now proclaim is sorta hard to name
But that summer feeling's gonna haunt you the rest of 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 or the way you were?
That summer feeling's gonna haunt you the rest of your life
Summer feeling, that summer feeling, that summer feeling
