SUMMER NIGHTS

Summer loving had me a blast I saved her life she nearly drowned
Summer loving happened so fast He showed off splashing around
I met a girl crazy for me Summer sun somethings begun but oh
Met a boy cute as can be oh the summer nights
Summer days drifting away to oh oh the
summer nights Tell me more, tell me more
Was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far Did she put up a fight?
Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car Took her bowling in the arcade
We went strolling drank lemonade
She swam by me she got a cramp We made out under the dock
He ran by me got my suit damp We stayed out till 10 o'clock
Summer fling don't mean a thing but oh Summer heat boy and girl meet but oh
oh the summer nights. oh the summer nights.
Tell me more, tell me more Tell me more, tell me more
But you don't gotta brag How much dough did he spend?
Tell me more, tell me more Tell me more, tell me more
Cause he sounds like a drag Could she get me a friend?
He got friendly holding my hand It turned colder that's where it ends
She got friendly down in the sand So I told her we'd still be friends
He was sweet just turned eighteen Then we made our true love vow
Well she was good you know what I Wonder what she's doing now

Summer dreams ripped at the seams
but oh those summer nights

'Cause you need a man 'Cause you need a man
And my heart is set on you. And my heart is set on you.
You better shape up, You better shape up,
You better understand You better understand
To my heart I must be true. To my heart I must be true.
You're the one that I want, You're the one that I want,
