Its summer time ! yes !
No school, no homework, sleeping late, parties, and summer romance !
d*mn … the summer romance
d*mn the summer romance !
I’d rather spend my time studying, drinking red bulls, and reading than thinking about that d*mn summer romance
See to some people, the summer is popping with boys and girls of all types and it’s AMAZING
But to me, it’s always the same … thing
That summer romance is just a summer fling
The song is over before the night even ends
The records broken, there’s nothing left to mend
And the saddest part? We can’t even remain friends…
d*mn … the summer romance
d*mn the summer romance!
Maybe I’m just a part of the wrong social crowd or something
Or … maybe I’m the wrong type of person to be looking for something that even SOUNDS as temporary as a “summer fling”
Maybe it’s the fact that I actually LIKE being in a real relationship .
Shit, it’s probably the fact that I can’t really deal with anything less than a real companionship
Really though? What’s the point of two week relationship?
ESPECIALLY if you KNOW it’s only going to last that long
Why can’t a guy and girl dance at the night club, get a couple drinks, and then go their separate ways later on?
WHY DO THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO GET IT ON?!
What is the point of that?
I mean… can’t they just play beer pong or something?
d*mn … the summer romance
d*mn the summer romance !
I’m so SICK of meeting a guy at the beginning of every summer and then not even being on speaking terms by 4th of July
It pretty much puts a whole new meaning to “Independence Day”.
And WHY does every summer fling guy think it is OKAY to lie?
I mean could you at least be real with me !
I PROMISE you won’t hurt my feelings.
See that’s what I don’t get…
WHY DOES EVERY GUY CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS BUT THEN NOT GIVE A sh*t ABOUT THEM ALL AT THE SAME GOT d*mn TIME !?!?
It’s like the only way they can even fathom being real is to lie about being real in the first place.
And THAT’S some real sh*t.
But I DID learn one thing this summer.
Well actually it was pretty much just conformation about the bummer.
NOT EVERY GUY is like that. There are ACTUALLY some really good guys out there.
The problem? Finding them. The bigger problem? Finding a SINGLE one.
d*mn … good luck on that one.
But since that’s the case I’m just going to go move on to plan B.
Buy a new outfit, get my hair done, with a matching mani/pedi.
Find some new shoes that show off but don’t hurt my feet.
And head back into Club Ecstasy
Because it’s the summer.
There’s no school, no homework, and I can take the chance
There’s a party, and I’m going to dance.
But you know what?
d*mn the summer romance !

I’m single tonight.
