about

A song about the guy who hooks up with your girl when she goes away on holiday

lyrics

Well everybody give a cheer
because summer's finally here
i love this time of year
its always sunny

holidays spent at the beach
far away from boyfriends reach
there's something they don't ever teach
the honeys

Summer nights alone
so very far from home
can make a girl so lonely
once we're out beneath the stars
and we hear those soft guitars
i become their one and only

Please understand
they never plan to take my hand
when i become
their summer lover man
the surf and sand
all those days spent getting tanned
temptation's out of hand
i'm their summer lover man


she's far too young to be tied down
two hundred miles from her town
nows not the time to act all mulish
if you let her have some fun
underneath the summer sun
you'll find out when the summer's done
you'll find your fears were foolish

Hot and steamy nights
beneath the boardwalk's and its lights
huggin and kissing
doesn't matter if she roams
her heart is always back at home
and its you she's really missing

Please understand
they never plan to take my hand
when i become
their summer lover man
the surf and sand
all those days spent getting tanned
temptation's out of hand
i'm their summer lover man

there’s something magical
in the moon above
one night underneath its light
and you’re sure to fall in love

well september has returned
the august sun no longer burns
the shorter days they slowly turn
to autumn
and the change of season brings
an end to all those summer flings
when the school bell rings they’re all forgotten

when the leaves start falling down
the locals all start leaving town
and the only sound is the ocean
it won't be long until next year
when the city girls appear
needing help with all their suntan lotion

Please understand
they never plan to take my hand
when i become
their summer lover man
the surf and sand
all those days spent getting tanned
temptation's out of hand
i'm their summer lover man
