That Summer Feeling
When there's things to do
Not because you gotta
When you run for love
Not because you oughta
When you trust your friends
With no reason not to
It's a joy I named
Shall not be tamed
And that summer feeling's
Gonna haunt you one day in your life
When the cool of a 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
And that summer feeling's
Gonna haunt you one day in your life
If you've forgotten what I'm naming
You're gonna long to reclaim it one day
'Cause that summer feeling's
Gonna haunt you one day in your life
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
And if you wait until you're older
A sad resentment will smolder one day
And then that summer feeling's
Gonna haunt you
And that summer feeling's
Gonna taunt you
And that summer feeling's
Gonna hurt you one day in your life
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
Even fourth grade starts looking good
Which you hated
And first grade's looking good too
Overrated
And your boys long for some little girl
That you dated
Do you long for her
Or for the way you were
That summer feeling's
Gonna haunt you one day in your life
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
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's
Gonna haunt you one day in your life
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
When your friends are in town
And they got time for you
You and them are 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
And that summer feeling's
Gonna haunt you one day in your life
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
It's gonna haunt you
(Summer feeling)
It's gonna taunt you
(Summer feeling)
You're gonna want this feeling inside
One more time
(Summer feeling)
It's gonna haunt you
(Summer feeling)
It's gonna taunt you
(Summer feeling)
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 a little girl with the dirty ankles
'Cause she's on the swings
You know the dust is kicking up
And you remember the ankle locket
And the way she flirted with you
For all this time
How come?
Well, that summer feeling's
Gonna haunt you one day in your life
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
You'll throw away everything for it
(Summer feeling)
You'll throw away everything for it
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
One more thing
When the playground that was all dirt comes haunting
That girl that called you a flirt
Memory comes taunting
You pick things apart
Well they're not that appealing
But put them together
You get this certain feeling
And that summer feeling's
Gonna haunt you one day in your life
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
(Summer feeling)
Not because you gotta
When you run for love
Not because you oughta
When you trust your friends
With no reason not to
It's a joy I named
Shall not be tamed
And that summer feeling's
Gonna haunt you one day in your life
When the cool of a 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
