Summer Girls
Lyte Funky Ones Lyrics

Yeah, I Like it when the girls stop by
The singer enjoys it when girls come to visit

In the summer
This typically happens during the summer season

Do you remember?
The singer is asking the listener if they remember a past experience

Do you remember When we met that summer...
The singer is recalling a specific summer in the past when they met someone

New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits Chinese food makes me sick And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer, for the summer I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch I'd take her if I had one wish But she's been gone since that summer, since that summer

Cherry Pez, Coke, Crush Rock, Stud Boogie Used to hate school, so I had to play hookie Always been hip to the b-boy style Known to act wild and make a girl smile Love New Edition and the "Candy Girl" Remind me of you because you rock my world You come from Georgia where the peaches grow They drink lemonade and speak real slow You love hip-hop and rock & roll Dad took off when you were 4 years old There was a good man named Paul Revere I feel much better baby when you're near You love Fun Dip and Cherry Coke I like the way you laugh when I tell a joke When I met you I said my name was Rich You look like a girl from Abercrobie and Fitch

In the summertime girls got it goin' on Shake and wiggle to a hip-hop song Summertime girls are the kind I like I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike Boogaloo shrimp and pogo sticks My mind takes me back there oh so quick Let you off the hook like my man Mr. Limpit Think about that summer and I bug cause I miss it Like the color purple, macaroni and cheese Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees Call you up, but what's the use I like Kevin Bacon, but I hate Footloose You came in the door I said it before I think I'm over you, but I'm really not sure When I met you I said my name was Rich You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch
