Summertime
The Mowgli's Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

T′s getting heavy, I'm going crazy
A little bit of rock and roll, eyes close to the radio
And when you touch me, it′s almost like you love me
I kinda think that you might know the way I'm feeling
Oh I can't get you off of my mind, but I think that it′s alright,
Cause looking back I′m falling in love with you every single night
You know I'm feeling right when everything is fine, just fine
I keep falling in love with you in the summertime
Oo Oo Oo Oo I keep falling in love with you in the summertime
Oo Oo Oo Oo I keep falling in love with you in the summer
You′re looking brand new, hands out the sunroof
And I just can't deny it, don′t act like you don't like it
The mess you make me, don′t recognize who I've been lately
You've got me flying, straight through that roof
Oh I can′t get you off of my mind, but I think that it′s alright,
Cause looking back I'm falling in love with you every single night
You know I′m feeling right when everything is fine, just fine
I keep falling in love with you in the summertime
Oo Oo Oo Oo I keep falling in love with you in the summertime
I guess I'm facing the truth that you finally won
You got that look in your eyes like a loaded gun
In a place, in a time that I never was
It′s all because I'm coming up, oh
I can′t get you off of my mind, but I think that it's alright,
Cause looking back I'm falling in love with you every single night
You know I′m feeling right when everything is fine, just fine
I keep falling in love with you in the summertime
Oh, You know I′m feeling right
Oh, I keep falling in love with you in the summertime
You know I'm feeling right
Oh, I keep falling in love with you in the summertime




You know I′m feeling right
Oh, I keep falling in love with you in the summertime

Overall Meaning

The Mowgli's's song Summertime captures the joy and excitement of summer love. The opening lines describe a feeling of being overwhelmed and restless, listening to music and craving physical connection. The singer seems to be falling more deeply in love with their partner every night, even when they're not physically together. There's a carefree attitude in the lines "You're looking brand new, hands out the sunroof / And I just can't deny it, don′t act like you don't like it", hinting at a sense of rebellion and adventure.


The chorus is simple but effective, with the repeated "Oo Oo Oo Oo I keep falling in love with you in the summertime" conveying the idea that this love is exhilarating and addictive. The second verse suggests that the singer has undergone some sort of transformation thanks to their partner - the line "The mess you make me, don′t recognize who I've been lately" suggests that they've shed their old identity and become someone new. The bridge is a bit of a departure, with the singer acknowledging their vulnerability ("I guess I'm facing the truth that you finally won") and the idea that their partner has the potential to hurt them, like a loaded gun. But ultimately the song ends on a high note, with the singer feeling "right" and still falling in love with this person over and over again.


Overall, Summertime is an upbeat and catchy celebration of young love and all its ups and downs. It captures the thrill of summer romance and the intoxicating feeling of falling in love.

This song always takes me back to summertime, when you wake up everyday with the sun shining into your bedroom and you feel anxious and perfectly ready for falling over and over again for the same person every single night just like it was the first time. When the energy you feel with that someone is so intense that even when you touch you feel love. And even when you know it is not going to last long, you still feel brave to fall completely into, because it's summer and everything is perfectly okay...

The only band I'm never bored of. Love from Lebanon.
