[Intro]
Whoa, whoa, oh-oh
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Scary stories by the fireside
But don't be frightened, love, just forget about it
I will be the one to keep you safe from harm
Making memories for the wintertime
By riverside, don't fret your pretty head about it
When it's cold, let my shadow keep you warm
See, time just flies
And we're there kissin' every day goodbye
Oh-whoa
Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa

[Verse 2]
I could swear that this is perfect love
But gods above, what do I even know about it?
Maybe perfect isn't what I'm meant to find
'Cause all I need is just your easy smile to last a lifetime
No, I won't go on without it
How in heaven did I get to call you mine?
See, I don't know
Still I hate to see you go
[Chorus]
But I don't mind
If this only lasts a while, baby
I don't think forever tastes this sweet
So take my hand
If you're my woman, I'm your man
I hope this summertime flame will be the death of me

[Verse 3]
Pretty dirty in the fading light
I called you mine, you couldn't help but smile at it
And your smile there was good enough for me
And maybe one day when the summer's done
You'll be long gone and I won't even worry 'bout it
Why worry when the moment tastes this sweet?
See, I don't care
If eternity's not there

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't mind
If this only lasts a while, baby
I don't think forever tastes this sweet
So take my hand
If you're my woman, I'm your man
I hope this summertime flame will be the death of me
[Bridge]
One day, if I'm in
The back of your mind
Just remember this song, girl
And dream of summertime
One day, if I'm in
The back of your mind
Just remember this song, girl
And dream of summertime

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
See, I'll be fine
Won't you just kiss me goodbye?

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't mind
If this only lasts a while, baby
I don't think forever tastes this sweet
So take my hand
If you're my woman, I'm your man
I hope this summertime flame will be the death of me

[Chorus]
I don't mind
If this only lasts a while, baby
I don't think forever tastes this sweet
So take my hand
If you're my woman, I'm your man
I hope this summertime flame will be the death of me
[Chorus]
Darlin', don't mind
If this only lasts a while, baby
I don't think forever tastes this sweet
No, take my hand
Woman, I'ma be your man
Singing summertime flame, please be the death of me

[Chorus]
No, I don't mind
Just take your time
And I don't think forever tastes this fine
No, no, no
Just take my hand
And I will be your man
If you'll be the death of me

[Outro]
I don't mind (Darlin', don't mind)
If this only lasts a while, baby (Just take your time)
I don't think forever tastes this sweet (I don't think forever tastes this fine)
So take my hand (Just take my hand)
If you're my woman, I'm your man (I'ma be your man)
I hope this summertime flame will be the death of me (If you're gon' be the death of me)
I don't mind (I don't mind)
If this only lasts a while, baby (Just take your time, I say)
I don't think forever tastes this sweet (Baby)
So take my hand (Won't you take my hand?)
If you're my woman, I'm your man (Let me be your man)
I hope this summertime flame will be the death of me (If you'll be the death of me)
