Summer nights Summer loving had me a blastSummer loving happened so fast

i met a girl crazy for meMet a boy cute as can be

Summer days drifting away, to oh oh the summer nights

Well-a well-a well-a huhTell me more, tell me more

Did you get very far?

Tell me more, tell me moreLike does he have a car?She swam by me, she got a crampHe ran by me, got my suit dampI saved her life, she nearly drownedHe showed off, splashing aroundSummer sun, something's begun,

but oh oh the summer nights Tell me more, tell me more

Was it love at first sight?

Tell me more, tell me moreDid she put a fight?Took her bowling in the arcadeWe went strolling, drank lemonadeWe made out under the dockWe stayed out 'till ten o'clockSummer fling, don't mean a thing, but oh oh the summer nightsTell me more, tell me moreBut you don't have to braggTell me more, tell me moreCause he sounds like a drag

He got friendly, holding my hand

She got friendly down in the sand He was sweet just turned eighteen

Well she was good you know what I meanSummer heat, boy and girl meet, but oh oh the summer nightsTell me more, tell me moreHow much dough

How much dough did he spend?Tell me more, tell me more

Could she get me a friend?It turned colder - that's where it ends

So I told her we'd still be friendsThen we made our true love vow Wonder what she's doing now

Summer dreams ripped at the seams, but oh those summer nightsTell me more, tell me more
