Summer Nights
Amber Riley & Chord Overstreet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Summer loving happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy, cute as can be
Summer days drifting away
To, uh, oh, the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car?
She swam by me, she got a cramp
He ran by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off, splashing around
Summer sun, something's begun
But, uh, oh, the summer nights
Oh, Well-a, well-a well-a, huh
Tell me more, tell me more
Was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more
Did she put up a fight?
Took her bowling in the arcade
We went strolling, drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
We stayed up 'till ten o'clock
Summer fling, don't mean a thing
But, uh, oh, the summer nights
Well-a, well-a, well-a,
Tell me more, tell me more
But you don't gotta brag
Tell me more, tell me more
'Cause he sounds like a drag
He got friendly, holding my hand
Well, she got friendly down in the sand
He was sweet just turned eighteen
Well, she was good you know what I mean
Summer heat, boy and girl meet
But, uh, oh, the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more
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 him we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what he's doing now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams
But, oh, those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more
