Well Monday morning out of bed I drag a comb across my head Heard whispers from the avenues Saying "Common girl, take a day off school" The things you do when you are young Candy came and turned me on With a Beatles revolution song Had a smoke and shared a joke And said we'd drive down to the coast The things you do when you are young Well we cruised down town in a blue sedan With the top rolled back as the sun beat down And the pretty boys on the promenade Shouted "Common girl, 'cause here we are" (Angel) It's the summer of love And I feel on fire In the heavens above yeah My spirit is flying It's the summer of love And young hearts will always run free The things you do when you are young So we walk the beach for an hour or two Just looking cool nothing else to do Warm winds brushed against our face Like an angel's kiss it's left no trace The things you do when you are young As the storm cloud breaks across the bay The surf-board kings have had their day And Candy said "I've got a great idea Let's get the car and drive out of here" (Angel) It's the summer of love And I feel on fire In the heavens above yeah My spirit is flying It's the summer of love And young hearts will always run free The things you do when you are young The things you do when you are young Well we cruised down town in a blue sedan With the top rolled back as the sun beat down And the pretty boys on the promenade Shouted "Common girl, 'cause here we are" (Angel) It's the summer of love And I feel on fire In the heavens above yeah My spirit is flying It's the summer of love And young hearts will always run free It's the summer of love And my whole world's turning In the heavens above yeah My spirit is burning It's the summer of love And young hearts will always run free Yeah, it's the summer of love And I feel on fire In the heavens above yeah My spirit is flying It's the summer of love And young hearts will always run free
