You’re not like the other girls
With your somewhat checkered past
But that doesn't mean
We can't make our summer last
You've got your daddy's credit cards
That vacant look in your eyes
It’s risky
To be your kind of guy
My skin's still flaking
From my sunburn in July
You were right to warn me
I was gonna fry
But no worries, because
A somewhat higher risk of a minor carcinoma
Is a small price to pay
If we can stay together
At least through Labor Day
I hope we can stay together
At least through Labor Day
I noticed you in June
Dancing down at the marina
You were trying to be graceful
But you ain’t no ballerina
My parents’ yacht club banned you
For smoking weed on the veranda
You got a job selling beach tags
But on your second day they canned ya
My skin's still flaking
From my sunburn in July
You were right to warn me
I was gonna fry
But no worries, because
A somewhat higher risk of a minor carcinoma
Is a small price to pay
If we can stay together
At least through Labor Day
I hope we can stay together
At least through Labor Day
[saxophone solo]
I try not to think about
That name you scream out in your sleep
Or that long list of enemies
You keep
I gave you the keys to my uncle's Corvette
And we have just a few more jetty sunsets left
Summer's winding down
But it's not quite over yet
My skin's still flaking
From my sunburn in July
You were right to warn me
I was gonna fry
But no worries, because
A somewhat higher risk of a minor carcinoma
Is a small price to pay
If we can stay together
At least through Labor Day
I hope we can stay together
At least through Labor Day
I will love you
At least through Labor Day
