What you want from me
Oh, I can't explain
What you want from me
I do it anyway

What you give to me
I know you spare with ease
You cough it up sometimes
And never just for me

That's the way it's always been
In summer, summer
Down in Chico, Chico

You got married at the train depot
In the summer, summer
Down in Chico, Chico

What you want from me
Oh it hurts my pride
I wanna help you out
I'll cast myself aside

What you give to me
Makes me more troubled than
It was worth to see
You at large again

That's the way it's always been
In the summer, summer
Down in Chico, Chico

You got married
And bought the steeple
In the summer, summer
Down in Chico, Chico

That's the way its always been
In summer, summer
Down in Chico, Chico

You got married to fifteen people
In the summer, summer
Down in Chico
