[Intro]

Oh yeah, she was taking me over

And oh yeah, it was the start of the summer

[Verse 1]

On warm June evenings she would come to my house

Still in her school skirt and her summer blouse

Talking too long as the night came on

It was the best time of my life

Her bee stung lips, kisses sweeter than wine

The things she whispered with breathless sighs

The summer air was soft and warm

Her eyes were making silent demands

As her hair came undone in my hands

[Chorus]

Oh yeah, she was taking me over

And oh yeah, it was the start of the summer

Oh yeah, she was taking me over

And oh yeah, it was the start of the summer

[Verse 2]

Driving her home after midnight

I felt so good, everything was alright

Her thoughts seemed lost in the night sky

I remember everything

I don't know why these things ever end

I sometimes wish it was that summer again

I still see her in my sleep

And hear the sighing of the summer wind

Still I don't regret one thing

[Chorus]

Oh yeah, she was taking me over

And oh yeah, it was the start of the summer

Oh yeah, she was taking me over

And oh yeah, it was the start of the summer

[Chorus]

Oh yeah, she was taking me over

And oh yeah, it was the start of the summer

Oh yeah, she was taking me over

And oh yeah, it was the start of the summer

It felt just like it was the start of forever

And oh yeah, it was the start of the summer
