Lyrics
I only love you in the summertime
Baby when things feel like a dream
You only say it now don't mean it
Like when you were seventeen
I hate the feeling that you're leaving
Because we're having so much fun
I only love you in the summertime,
Summertime's nearly done
I
Baby when I lie awake
I think of summertime, at time I don't want to miss
For my mind
There's things about you I can't shake
Until the sudden realization that we hadn't talked in days
I only love you in the summertime
Baby when things feel like a dream
You only say it now don't mean it
Like when you were seventeen
I hate the feeling that you're leaving
Because we're having so much fun
Baby I only love you in the summertime
Summertime's nearly done
I know you get scared of this
But I swear that I'm not doing this
Just for the hell of this
But sometimes
I feel like it's the opposite
When you're walking ahead of me
Acting I didn't exist
I don't want you now
I don't want you now
I only love you in the summertime,
Baby when days feel like a dream
You only say it now don't mean it
Like when you were seventeen
I hate the feeling that you're leaving
Because we're having so much fun
Baby you only love me in the summertime
Summertime is nearly done
