Exotic cars scream down the sunset of dreams
On a hot sunny afternoon
I'm in a hot dog stand
With a strange love holding my hand
And we're both playin' it real cool
It's the summer of love
It's the summer of love, Baby
It's the summer of love
Leastways, I'm hopin' it is
So we talk about her favorite movie star or something
She says, "Ya know, I've never done this before" (Yeah, sure)
"I know it sounds strange, but I can't remember your name
But I remember last night on the floor"
And we both laughed like she told a joke or something
She takes her neckerchief off and wraps it around my head
And says, "Hey, you"
It's the summer of love
It's the summer of love, Baby
It's the summer of love
Leastways, I'm hopin' it is
It's the summer of love
It's the summer of love, Baby
It's the summer of love
Leastways, I'm hopin' it is
So we both walk along alone
She says, "Hey, Mister, you sure make a strange kind of lover"
And I say "yeah"
I say "yeah"
It's the summer of love
It's the summer of love, Baby
It's the summer of love
Leastways, I'm hopin' it is
Leastways, I'm thinkin' it just might beI try to kill the pain
But it keeps me in this circle
It's hard to get away
I feel you again
You're with me
Love is a word you gave it a name
Love is right now
So don't close your heart
I've been waiting all my life
For the moment of our love
With you
I try to feel the pain
But it keeps me in this circle
I don't wanna get away
Cause you're here with me
I feel you
Love is a word you gave it a name
Love is right now
So don't close your eyes
I've been waiting all my life
For this moment of our love
With you
With you
Love is right now..
Right now
Our love is right now
So don't close your heart
I've been waiting all my life
For this moment of our love
With you
Just let me love you
And i'll learn to love you right
We live only for this moment
For this moment of our love
With you
With you
