This ain't nothing but a summer jam
Hey-yeah summer jam alright
This ain't nothing but a summer jam
Hey-yeah summer jam alright
This ain't nothing but a summer jam
Hey-yeah summer jam alright
This ain't nothing but a summer jam
We're gonna party as much as we can

This ain't nothing but a summer jam
Bronze skin and cinnamon tans whoah
This ain't nothing but a summer jam
We're gonna party as much as we can

Tonight
hotties wearin' Prada skirts, real tight
temperature is risin', feelin' real hot
in the heat of the night
Midnight
the party won't stop, until' the mornin' light
I'm skopin' out the hotties with the light eyes
Be with me tonight

Can't get you outta my mind, I can't lie
'Cause a girl like you is so hard to find
I'm waiting for the day to make you mine
'Cause I can't take it

This ain't nothin' but a summer jam
Bronze skin and cinnamon tans whoah
This ain't nothin' but a summer jam
We're gonna party as much as we can

Moonlight
cruisin' down the boulevard, strobe lights
watchin' you your body's tight, alright
looking kinda freaky to me

Can't get you outta my mind, I can't lie
'Cause a girl like you is so hard to find
I'm waiting for the day to make you mine
'Cause I can't take it

This ain't nothin' but a summer jam
Brown skin and cinnamon tans whoah
This ain't nothin' but a summer jam
We're gonna party as much as we can

This ain't nothin' but a summer jam
Bronze skin and cinnamon tans whoa
This ain't nothing but a summer jam
We're gonna party as much as we can

This ain't nothin' but a summer jam
Bronze skin and cinnamon tans whoa
This ain't nothing but a summer jam
We're gonna party as much as we can

Hey-yeah, ho whoah
Hey-yeah, summer jam alright

Hey-yeah, ho whoah
Hey-yeah, summer jam alright
