Exotic cars scream down the sunset of dreams
On a hot sunny afternoon
I'm in a hot dog stand, a strange love's holdin' my hand
And we're both playin' it real coolIt's the summer of love
It's the summer of love, baby
It's the summer of love
Least ways, I'm hopin' it isSo we talk about her favorite movie star or somethin'
She says, "Ya know, I've never done this before", yeah, sure
"An' I know it sounds strange, but I can't remember your name
But I remember last night on the floor"An' we both laughed like she told a joke or somethin'
She takes her neckerchief off an' wraps it around my head
An' says, "Hey, you"It's the summer of love
It's the summer of love, baby
It's the summer of love
Least ways, I'm hopin' it isIt's the summer of love
It's the summer of love, baby
It's the summer of love
Least ways, I'm hopin' it is, set it downSo we both walk along alone
She says, "Hey, mister, you sure make a strange kinda 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
Least ways, I'm hopin' it isLeast ways, I'm thinkin' it just might be
It's the summer of love
It's the summer of love
This is the summer of loveNow, I hope I see her again sometimes
