Nobody on the road;
Nobody on the beach.
I feel it in the air,
The summer's out of reach.
Empty lake, empty streets;
The sun goes down alone.
I'm driving by your house,
Though I know you're not home...
But I can see you,
Your brown skin shining in the sun!
You've got your hair combed back,
And sunglasses on, baby.
And I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong,
After the boys of summer have gone.
I never will forget those nights!
I wonder if it was a dream.
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream?
Now, I don't understand
What happened to our love;
But, babe, I'm going to get you back!
I'm going to show you what I'm made of...
And I can see you,
Your brown skin shining in the sun!
I see you walking real slow,
Smiling at everyone...
And I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong,
After the boys of summer have gone!
Out on the road today,
I saw a dead head sticker on a Cadillac.
A little voice inside my head said,
"Don't look back, you can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was!
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever;
I should just let them go, but...
I can see you,
Your brown skin shining in the sun!
You've got your top pulled down,
And the radio on, baby.
And I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong,
After the boys of summer have gone!
I can see you,
Your brown skin shining in the sun!
You got that hair slicked back
And those Wayfarers on, baby
And I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong,
After the boys of summer have gone!
