And I call you a boozer, baby,
ripple wide in the afternoon
And I call you helpless and reckless
and sometimes you're warm, missy
Holdin' back a summer storm
Well, I call you a loser,
and I know what I'm speaking of
And I call you a lazy and crazy
and weary and worn, missy
I'm holding back a summer storm
And I call you wired and tired
Missing a holdin' back a summer storm
you know very well why I do
And I call you a cruiser, cruiser
And I call you pensive, defensive,
Missing a holdin' back a summer storm
But I'm attracted to losers
that I hear through the mist
And I've always loved him, I love him
It seems like I just never could resist
Holdin' back a summer storm
