Just a few days and you'll be back in your
school
I'll be sitting around by the swimming pool
You'll be studying history and you'll be down
the gym
And I'll be down the pub, probably playing
pool and drinking
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's
through
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's
through
Just a few days and you'll be back in your
class
Sucking up the teacher and trying to get an
A... Pass
You're trying to hide your make-up and you're
trying to flash your legs
Yeah, no sympathy from your spotty friends
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's
through
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's
through - over, over, summer romance
I can't help myself, I can't help it if I'm
older than you - over, over, summer romance
I can't help myself, help it if I'm
older than you - over, over, summer romance
I need money so much, I need money so bad
And I can't be your mama, I don't want to be
your dad
I'm a serious man, I've got serious lusts
I'm going to have to do away with this greasy
kid stuff
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's
through
I can't help myself, I can't help it if I'm
older than you - over, over, summer romance
It's just a summer romance, a summer romance
and it's through - over, over, summer romance
It's over now, it's a summer romance and it's
through - over, over, summer romance
Over, over, summer romance
Over, over
Over, over
Over, over
Over, over - well, well, well, well, a summer romance
Over, over - well, well, a summer romance
Over, over - a summer romance
Over, over
Over, over - whoo
Over, over
Over, over

Ron:
Before
I gave (Mick) guitar lessons, we wouldn't have had songs like Summer
Romance, because of all that rhythm guitar.
Mick:
Well,
that's all I can play (laughs).
