Summertime
Beyoncé feat. Diddy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
There's three things I like about the summertime
Drop tops, long hot nights and summer love
Yeah
Hey yo, B
Tell 'em what time it is
Let's go
Out of all the guys that approach me
Walking up to me like they know me
You were the one that stayed aside
Waited a while and took your time
You don't know how impressing
Your curiosity was to me
It was the fourth day of July
Looked in my eyes and saw that I

I wanted more than just a man
I needed a friend
Someone I can talk to, someone who really listens
When you touched my hand, the sun got brighter then
Trusting you, I closed my eyes and felt our love begin

It was the summertime
When we fell in love, it was the summertime
When Heaven shined on us it was the summertime
Baby, there is nothing like the summertime
Summertime

Now it's been a year and we're closer
Fall in love again when I hold ya
I know that God set you aside for me
And now you are my prize
Wanna grow old wit'cha
And fill our house with your pictures
Have a son for you
A little girl for me
Together we'll raise a family

Baby, you're more than just a man
I needed a friend (you are my best friend)
Someone I can talk to, someone who really listens
When you touched my hand, the sun got brighter then
Trusting you, I closed my eyes and felt our love begin

It was the summertime
When we fell in love, it was the summertime
When Heaven shined on us it was the summertime
Baby, there is nothing like the summertime
Summertime

So what's in gonna be, him or me? (Yeah)
We can cruise the world for pearls
And bare boots for girls
Summertime in the linen, fresh fruit
Livin the life that's forbidden for just you (let's go)
No worries you ain't gotta be stressed out
No hurries you ain't gotta be rushed out
Sit back relax ma take your time
Now have a taste of the finest wine
Every minute that we have's a blessing to me
And in your heart you's a "Child of Destiny" (that's right)
Them hot summers that we had especially
Love who you is girl, you bring out the best of me
And it's like that, you know it's like that (that's right)
And that's your plan, where's your hand let me ice that
You my heart ain't no chance you could fight that
The summertime, when you hot baby take that, take that, yeah

It was the summertime
When we fell in love, it was the summertime
When Heaven shined on us it was the summertime




Baby, there is nothing like the summertime
Summertime
