What a cutie
Sitting right across from me
In my history class
We spent the summer
Chasing one another
It was a terrible mess
But as the sun beat down
Our hearts would play some tricks on us
Suntan lotion and Chablis
Ancient history
Blame it on the Summertime
Local boys
Looking for the noise yeah
That no one heard before
Out on the street
Keeping hands and feet warm
Man those winters were cold
But when the sun beat down
It was time to play out in the sun
Bikini bottoms on the beach
Within reach
Blame it on the Summertime
Blame it on Summertime
And if I had the chance Id do it all again
Summers went so long, they just wouldn't end, never thought they end
What a mystery
Always playing tricks on me
But wouldn’t settle for less
We spent the summer
Chasing one another
It was a terrible mess
Now as the years go past and the years go faster and faster it seems
We spend all our time looking back to the time we had in our teens
It makes me realize that it all ain't what we thought it seemed
Cause when your young your living in your dreams
Or so it seems
Blame it on the Summertime
Blame it on Summertime
Blame it on the Summertime
