lyrics

Summer nights
feel like they could last forever
when you're young;
honestly, you just don't know better 'til

late one night,
It don't matter the time or the place;
you just close your eyes
and swear to god you can still see her face.

Years go by and you still feel bitter,
you'd give anything to just forget her,
'cause everything hurts and it don't get better
when you're just sixteen.

In the parking lot and your hands started shakin'
Everyone around could tell you were fakin'
'cause who the hell cares if her heart was breakin'?
She was just sixteen.

Summer love,
to most kids it don't mean a thing
but when she's near,
the mountains part and the angels sing.


You said "Baby, I've got a fever
and I'm burnin' up, burnin' up inside for you,
now make me a believer,
and tell me you can feel it too".

Years go by and you still feel bitter,
you'd give anything to just forget her,
'cause everything hurts and it don't get better
when you're just sixteen.

In the parking lot and your hands started shakin'
Everyone around could tell you were fakin'
'cause who the hell cares if her heart was breakin'?
She was just sixteen.

And you don't care how,
but somehow you've gotta leave this town,
'cause it's too late now,
you're in over your head and you're starting to drown,
and nobody knows
the right way to shake these teenage blues
but that's how it goes
when you're a hard luck kid you got somethin' to prove.

Years go by and you still feel bitter,
you'd give anything to just forget her,
'cause everything hurts and it don't get better
when you're just sixteen.

In the parking lot and your hands started shakin'
Everyone around could tell you were fakin'
'cause who the hell cares if her heart was breakin'?
She was just sixteen.

And nobody knows
The right way to shake these teenage blues
But that's how it goes
When you're a hard luck kid you got somethin' to prove.
