Back in the summertime You owned my only peace of mind But you left, taking all I had to give Now in another life You're back looking for my time But I won't go down that road again So just keep on passing me, keep on passing me by Because I know, yes, I know you weren't right Where you had to go I don't know where you were and I don't know Go on and say, go on and say Just say that you had never meant to hurt me bad 'Cause I know, yes, I know that isn't true, yes, I do You chose to do Go on and say, go on and say, go on and say Had no other way to go, you had no other way to go 'Cause I know it's not true, it was up to you Back in the summertime No one could ever change my mind about you But now I've come to So just keep on passing me, keep on passing me by Because I know, yes, I know you weren't right Where you had to go I don't know where you were and I don't know I don't have time for your new intentions Whether you know or not, you had an effect on every day gone by Since you disappeared So many nights I had to be wrong Waking up and think you're gone 'Cause I know I'm on that road again Oh, so just keep on passing me, keep on passing me by Because I know, yes, I know you weren't right Back in the summertime You owned my only peace of mind But you left, taking all I had to give
