"Last Summer" lyrics

"Last Summer"

Sipping a sangria with a girl named Julia
Hot Jamaican sand beneath our feet
She purred like a cat in a Panama hat
She said my passport picture was unique
I said I did impersonations would you like to see
Turned around to buy her one more round

Then suddenly she disappeared
Like I feared with another guy
Love always seems to let me down
Can be found anywhere around

The carnival had passed
And my heart was beating fast
All these married women, it ain't fair
Nervously I said would you like to come to bed
A cold silence pierced the evening air
Instantly she recognized my insecurities
Changing subjects quickly I agreed

Then suddenly she disappeared
Like I feared with another guy, ooh baby
Love always seems to let me down
Can be found anywhere around
Nowhere around

The tourist had all gone, winter's coming on
The hotel chambermaid didn't seem to care
Sharing a piƱa colada we broke into laughter
I'll never know how we made it up the stairs
We spent the night together
And she woke up in my arms
Kissed me tenderly and said goodbye

Then suddenly she disappeared
Like I feared with another guy, ooh baby
Love always seems to let me down
Can be found anywhere around
Nowhere around

Love always seems to let me down
Maybe I'll wait until next year, next year, next year
