Rod Stewart – Last Summer

(Rod Stewart / Phil Chen)

Sipping a sangria with a girl named Julia

Hot Jamaican sand beneath our feet

She purred like a cat in a Panama hat

She said my passport picture was unique

I said I did impersonations would you like to see

Turned around to buy her one more round

Then suddenly she disappeared

like I feared with another guy

Love always seems to let me down

Can be found anywhere around

The carnival had passed

and my heart was beating fast

All these married women, it ain’t fair

Nervously I said would you like to come to bed

A cold silence pierced the evening air

Instantly she recognized my insecurities

Changing subjects quickly I agreed

Then suddenly she disappeared

like I feared with another guy, oo baby

Love always seems to let me down

Can be found anywhere around

Nowhere around

The tourist had all gone, winter’s coming on

The hotel chambermaid didn’t seem to care

Sharing a pina colada we broke into laughter

I’ll never know how we made it up the stairs

We spent the night together

and she woke up in my arms

Kissed me tenderly and said goodbye

Then suddenly she disappeared

like I feared with another guy, oo baby

Love always seems to let me down

Can be found anywhere around

Nowhere around

Love always seems to let me down

Maybe I’ll wait until next year, next year, next year
