Pink Floyd's Summer of 68, written by Rick Wright,

Would you like to say something before you leave
Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel
We said good-bye before we said hello
I hardly even like you, I shouldn't care at all
We met just six hours ago, the music was too loud
From your bed I gained a day and lost a bloody year
And I would like to know
How do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel?

Not a single word was said, delights still without fears
Occasionally you showed a smile but what was the need
I felt the cold far too soon - the wind of '95
My friends are lying in the sun, I wish that I was there
Tomorrow brings another town and another girl like you
Have you time before you leave to greet another man
Just you let me know
How do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel?

Good-bye to you
Charlotte Kringles too
I've had enough for one day

Elvis Costello, "New lace sleeves".

Bad lovers face to face in the morning
Shy apologies and polite regrets
Slow dances that left no warning of
Outraged glances and indiscreet yawning
Good manners and bad breath get you nowhere

The lyrics to Suzanne Vega's "Gypsy" provides strong evidence for that interpretation, though I think she's stated that it was inspired by a summertime fling. But if you're making a thematic comp it would definitely work. Plus it has the female POV.

The scene: I'm sitting in a booth at Wendy's, eating a Spicy Chicken sandwich; I'm horribly hung-over; I've just had a one-night-stand with a longtime "just friend" and soon-to-be-ex-friend; worse yet, we did it in my roommate's bed, and he will soon find evidence of it; to top it off, she lives just down the block WITH HER BOYFRIEND, so it'll be tough avoiding her. Anyhow, I'm eating the chicken sandwich, and Huey Lewis and Gwynneth Paltrow's version of "Cruisin'" comes on the muzak. When they sing the line "This is not a one-night-stand," I nearly puked with horrified remorse/being hungover.
