Summertime Girls
Y&T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh yeah, I
Just want to watch the girls, goin' by...
It's like poetry in motion
against a hot summer sky.
I'm in love, yeah yeah...
at least every minute or two...
until the next time a girl walks by
I think I love her too

I can't help myself
but I just loose my head
everytime you see 'em walkin' by...

Summertime Girls
You make my whole world go around
Summertime Girls
When you lift me up
I never come down, no, no...

She's hot!
I dig her wiggle and all that shake
I can read that body language, yeah
a million miles away
Sometimes I, yeah come on just a bit, a bit too strong
But I just like to pretend, yes.
that I can have 'em all.

No time, time to catch my breath
so easily impressed
it doesn't matter if it's day or night

Summertime Girls
You make my whole world go around
Summertime Girls
But when you lift me up
I never come down, no, no...

Come here girls...

Summertime Girls
You make my whole world go around
Summertime Girls
When you lift me up
I never come down, no, no...

Summertime Girls
Oh baby..You make my whole world go around
Summertime Girls
The way you lift me up
I never come down, no, no...

Summertime Girls
Summertime Girls
Summertime Girls




You make my whole world go around
Summertime Girls
