I met her there In a rundown bar, dim and small. Servin’ drinks In her navy blue dress, To tourists chasin’ thrills. The sun pushed me in, Sat me down, ordered me some rum. When she brought it over, My heart went stiff, And ran off, quick as hell. Then she leaned on in, And said to me: "Hey now, boy, All that starin’ And hidin’ away, You better kiss me, Then hit the highway." It all began, Like these love things do. I want you, But you don’t. You want me, But I don’t. Now she’s layin’ there, Watchin’ the waves, tired of the game. She grabs my hand Just to check I’m still around, And that later, there’ll be more. Feelin’ just fine, On this beachside, soakin’ up the sun. She’s right beside me, Lovin’ every bit. Oh, summer, how sweet you are! It all began, Like these love things do. I want you, But you don’t. You want me, But I don’t. She didn’t get it, That passion burns under the sun. She tensed up bad, When she caught me with A blonde girl down by the shore. And she walked away, Shakin’ her hips down the pier. I couldn’t enjoy the sea no more, Just thinkin’ ‘bout That wild backdoor. It all began, Like these love things do. I want you, But you don’t. You want me, But I don’t.
