I said hey now brother won't you lend me your ears
I wanna share with you a story I've been keeping for years
You wanna know the secrets told from far and wide
Let me take your hand along for the ride
So sit real still and take a drink from your glass
Let me send you on a journey from the past
It's gonna open your eyes, it's gonna take you by storm
It's a rose without the thorn
So I said take back what you said last summer
Cos I'mma do what I wanna
I'm gonna shout real loud
You hear me scream it out
Take back what you said last summer
Cos I'mma do what I wanna
Tell no one other what you said last summer
It started at the bar when we were ordering beer
Before I knew it forty quid and I was over my fear
I picked up the guitar and I sang you a song
I loved it when you sang along
But it wasn't till the drive home, heater on, listening to some pop song
We sang that tune at the top of our lungs
The memory of who I was is fading to black
As long as your taking it back
So I said take back what you said last summer
Cos I'mma do what I wanna
I'm gonna shout real loud
You hear me scream it out
Take back what you said last summer
Cos I'mma do what I wanna
Tell no one other what you said last summer
So take back what you said last summer
Cos I'mma do what I wanna
I'm gonna shout real loud
You hear me scream it out
Take back what you said last summer
Cos I'mma do what I wanna
Tell no one other what you said last summer
