She was standin’ there with her big, blue, question mark eyes
Sayin, “Would you stay the night?”
And me, I was just seventeen, my very first time
But I knew it was right

She pulled off my baseball hat
We kissed and I knew there was no looking back
By the end of May, I could feel the change
She pulled me close to say

I want a summer of misbehavin’
Out all night, no reservations
Hittin’ that river, strippin’ down till the sun comes up
Oh, I want, oh, I want, oh, I want a summer of love

June flew by before we knew it was the fourth of July
So we headed to the Tennessee line
Bought a hundred bottle rockets, shot ‘em up in the sky
And they lit up the night

Like risin’ stars that burn to dust
And I said, baby, that’s just like us
Someone set us up, lit the fuse
Two young lovers with nothing to lose

But a summer of misbehavin’
Out all night, no reservations
Hittin’ that river, strippin’ down till the sun comes up
Oh, I want, oh, I want, oh, I want a summer of love

No matter what happens, we’ll have today
And I’ll always, pretty baby, wanna feel this way

I want a summer of misbehavin’
Out all night, no reservations
Hittin’ that river, strippin’ down till the sun comes up
Oh, I want, oh, I want, oh, I want a summer of love

Oh, a summer of love
I want a summer of love
(Out all night, hittin’ that river, strippin’ down ‘til the sun comes up)
Oh, a summer of love
(Like risin’ stars, poppin’ and burnin’ to dust, yeah, that was us)

Summer of love
(Out all night, hittin’ that river, strippin’ down ‘til the sun comes up)
Summer of love
(Like risin’ stars, poppin’ and burnin’ to dust, yeah, that was us)
Summer of love

Out all night, hittin’ that river, strippin’ down ‘til the sun comes up
Summer of love
