Now, pretty baby, I'm runnin' back home to you
Make out the summer, I know who my first call will be to
Make out the summer, oh

Another summer, takin' cover
Rollin' the pools, he don't understand me
Splintered back in swimming, silent dinners, bitter
He was with her in dreams
Gray and blue and swims and working
Handcuffed to the beach I was under
For just one hour of perfect
Years of labor, beach and glasses
In the shade of how he was feelin'
But it's gonna be alright, I did my time

Now, pretty baby, I'm runnin' back home to you
Make out the summer, I know who my first call will be to
Make out the summer, oh

Camera flashes, welcome beaches
Get the matches, toss the swimming off the ledge
As I said in my letters, now that I know better
I will never lose my pooling again
My friends tried but I wouldn't hear it
Watched me swimming disappearing
For just one glimpse of his smile
All those nights you kept me going
Swirled you into all of my poems
Now we're at the starting line, I did my time

Now, pretty baby, I'm swimmin'
To the house where you still wait up and that big pool gleams
To the one who says I'm the girl of his American pool
And no matter what I've done, it wouldn't matter anyway
Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up, now that I know what's at stake
Here
At the pool where we used to sit on children's swings
Wearing imaginary rings
But it's gonna be alright, I did my time
