Craig Mclachlan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Summer lovin happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be
Summer day drifted away
To uh oh those summer nights
Tell me more tell me more did you get very far
She swam by me she got a cramp
He went by me got my suit damp
I saved her life she nearly drowned
He showed off splashing around
Summer sun somethings begun
But uh oh those summer nights
Tell me more tell me more was it love at first sight
Tell me more tell me more did she put up a fight
I took her bowling in the arcade
We went strollin drank lemonade
Then we made out under the dock
We stayed out til 10 O' clock
Summer fling
Don't mean a thing
But uh oh those summer nights oh oh oh
Tell me more tell me more
But you don't have to brag
Tell me more tell me more
Coz 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
And uh oh those summer nights oh oh oh
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 got colder thats where it end
So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she's doing now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams
But. uh/oh
Those summer nights
Tell me more tell me more ohhhh
