We didn't think it'd last beyond summer I met her father she met my mother We didn't have anywhere else to go She said to me when we grow older Will we still need young love on our shoulders Does it just fade away, will we ever know? She touched my face and called me her lover I never thought that I'd need another Your cool suburban sun You're foolin' every one You win some you lose some I didn't know what we had found Just caught the bus and rode it to town She wouldn't notice anything else but me Your cool suburban sun You're foolin' every one You win some you lose some Dancing at discos, and moaning at phone bills Torremolinos and sun burnt in high heels Swap it and sell it and drop it and smell it All those years ago She touched my face and called me her lover I never thought that I'd need another Your cool suburban sun You're foolin' every one You win some you lose some Your cool suburban sun You're foolin' every one You win some you lose some Now it's gone, now it's gone, You win some, you lose some Now it's gone, now it's gone, You win some, you lose some Now it's gone, now it's gone, You win some, you lose some Now it's gone, now it's gone, You win some, you lose some Win some
