She Took Him to the Lake

Do you remember the story of the boy and his first date?

She took him to the lake and he fell in love

She spent one summer waking up between his arms

She told him how good that felt, told him, he was the one

And then she went away, his calls were not returned

He went to see her but her eyes were burning a different stare

The focus was somewhere else

And that feeling had somehow disappeared

Do you remember when they both drove out of state?

Stealing kisses behind her cousin's back

With a love so strong, tell me who could wait?

When it seems so right and it feels so right

Man, it had to be right

When it seems so right and it feels so right

Man, it had to be right, gotta be right

When it seems so right and it feels so right

Man, it had to be right

When it seems so right and it feels so right

Man, it had to be right

But then she went away and she's not coming back

And I'm pretty sure that boy is staying in tonight.
