Summertime Girlfriend
AM60 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
like the radio, she's booming
she's my summertime girlfriend
I hope summer never ends
she's my summertime girlfriend
I hope summer never ends
unless you're at the beach
she's got:
fuzz like a peach
small tan lines in the small of her back
and bikinis
she's my summertime girlfriend
I hope summer never ends
she's my summertime girlfriend
I hope summer never ends
I dedicate my life to her tan-lines
she's always on the beach
soaking up the sunshine
she's my summertime
she's my summertime girl
she loves the summertime
she's the best thing in the world
she's my summertime girlfriend
I hope summer never ends
she's my summertime girlfriend
I hope summer never ends
The lyrics of AM60's song Summertime Girlfriend are about a girl who is only around for the summer, and the singer's love for her during this fleeting time. The first two lines of the song describe her as blooming like everything in spring and booming like the radio. She is characterized by her association with the beach and the summer season: "you probably won't see her unless you're at the beach." The singer goes on to describe her physical attributes, including peach fuzz, small tan lines, and bikinis. He declares that he dedicates his life to her tan lines and that she is always on the beach soaking up the sunshine. The chorus repeats the sentiment that she is his summertime girlfriend and he hopes summer never ends because of her.
The song is a bittersweet tribute to a summer romance that is unlikely to last beyond the season. It captures the fleeting nature of summer flings and the desire to make the most of the time spent with someone you know you won't be able to keep. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and longing for a time that has already passed or is passing too quickly.

Of all the Old Navy commercials, the one where they are dancing on the roof using "Summertime Girlfriend:" is my favorite. Makes me want to follow the sun.
