Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jo-Anna, take a break
won't ya come out to play to play
Baby c'mon (baby c'mon)

Dye your dancin'shoes really brite
I wrote a song for you
Baby c'mon baby c'mon

Ridin'on the bus
I was thinkin' 'bout the two of us... two of us
let's dive into the deep
Baby beep beep beep-beep beep

Baby c'mon
it's saturday night c'mon
I'm lookin' for the light c'mon
Baby c'mon

I found a tiny note
you left it in my sleeping bag
Baby c'mon baby c'mon

So I got your mail address
but my message I suppose was a mess... a real mess
Let's dive into the deep
Baby beep beep beep-beep beep

Baby c'mon
It's Saturday night c'mon
and I'm lookin' for the light c'mon
Baby c'mon

In the summertime
that's me in the summertime
In the summertime
that's me in the summertime

Baby c'mon
It's Saturday night c'mon

keep lookin' for the light c'mon
Baby c'mon
