We go cruising on a summer's day
flowers are pretty but they're in your way, you go
wherever you want
I wear yellow ribbons in my hair
I am pretty but I'm in your way, you say

Why do I cry when you still love me so
why do we fight when we're not even old
Why do we go cruising on a summer's day
when all it ever does is rain, rain, rain
don't know why we keep on going round ‘n' round
we're never gonna make it out of town
– is it really meant to be?

We're in a jacuzzi on a summer's day
serenades are pretty but it ain't my thing, you know
a pity, you say
then you take yellow ribbons from my hair
I am pretty like the morning sun, you claim

Why do you cry when I still love you so
why do we fight when we're not even old
Why do we go cruising on a summer's day
when all it ever does is rain, rain, rain
don't know why we keep on going round ‘n' round
we're never gonna make it out of town
– is it really meant to be?
