Girls of Summer
YONAS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel like I'm being trapped
Way too many girls in the Summer, Summer
And once more (Ooh!) it's on
Slow motion on the dance floor
I'm probably drunk but I love her, love her!
VERSE 1:
But I'm focused on the baddest one in the buildin'
Put it down, put it down, she put it down
Cause she love how I give her that feelin'
Baby girl this is not a hobby
I'm not a fan of the Paparazzi
But when a label asks
I tell 'em "I'm worth a million dollars and a mother fuckin' Maserati." (Whoop!)
I've been away, but I'm back to party
Rum and Coke, call it black Bacardi
Got a love for the Piff I'm sorry
I'm Jimi Hendrix with a mix of Marley
I rock, Lamaur and Dauley
Claw money shades, in a black Denali
So lets go down where the lights stay bright
And girls get left, if they don't get it right like...
One Sec, I'll be back
I feel like I'm being trapped
Way too many girls in the Summer, Summer
And once more (Ooh!) it's on
Slow motion on the dance floor
I'm probably drunk but I love her, love her, Yeah!
VERSE 2:
... Yo!
Push to the Max. I could never do the minimum
Give me any game and I bet you I'll be winnin' 'em
Swimmin' in women with their own condominiums
That's why they call me a "Bad Boy."
And you're bad girl, like damn girl
Shit, how the hell you get up in my damn world
But, you're lookin' like a star and I'm a fan girl
And I ain't sayin' that to get up in your pants girl, but, Ha!
You got a rockin' body
Rum and coke call it black Bacardi
6 a.m. no hotel lobby
It's after hours so lets after party
I've got a love for the piff I'm sorry
I'm Jimi Hendrix with a mix of Marley
Lets go down where the lights stay bright
And girls get left if they don't get it right, like...
One Sec, I'll be back
I feel like I'm being trapped
Way too many girls in the Summer, Summer
And once more (Ooh!) it's on
Slow motion on the dance floor
I'm probably drunk but I love her, love her
BRIDGE-A:
Aye girl, show me what you got! (Aye!)
Aye girl, show me what you're workin' with! (Aye!)
Aye girl, let me see you drop! (Aye!)
Aye girl, show me what you're workin' with! (Aye!)
BRIDGE-B:
All these girls around me
I'll let you drown me
If you let me swim in your soul
I'll stop when, I feel like I'm locked in
Then I've gotta let you go. And I'll say
:
One Sec, I'll be back
I feel like I'm being trapped
Way too many girls in the Summer, Summer
And once more (Ooh!) it's on
Slow motion on the dance floor
I'm probably drunk but I love her, love her!

Line by Line Meaning
One Sec, I'll be back
Hold up, I need a moment away from all the girls to clear my head
I feel like I'm being trapped
The overwhelming amount of girls is making me feel claustrophobic
Way too many girls in the Summer, Summer
There are more girls in the summer season than I can handle
And once more (Ooh!) it's on
Despite feeling trapped, I can't resist the temptation and excitement of the party
Slow motion on the dance floor
The music and the atmosphere are so captivating that everything else seems to move in slow motion
I'm probably drunk but I love her, love her!
I might be under the influence, but I can't help but feel a strong attraction towards one girl in particular
So many women in the world
There are countless women out there, but none like the one I'm fixated on
But I'm focused on the baddest one in the buildin'
Out of all the girls around, my attention is solely on the most attractive one
Put it down, put it down, she put it down
She knows how to captivate me with her charm and seduction
Cause she love how I give her that feelin'
I know I'm doing something right, because she can't resist my charisma
Baby girl this is not a hobby
My passion for music and the lifestyle that comes with it is far beyond just a hobby
I'm not a fan of the Paparazzi
The constant attention of the media doesn't appeal to me
But when a label asks
If a record label shows interest in what I'm doing, I'm all ears
I tell 'em "I'm worth a million dollars and a mother fuckin' Maserati." (Whoop!)
I know my worth, and I won't settle for anything less than what I deserve
I've been away, but I'm back to party
I might have been gone for a while, but I'm back to enjoy the excitement of the party scene
Rum and Coke, call it black Bacardi
I'm indulging in alcohol to get into the spirit of the night
Got a love for the Piff I'm sorry
I apologize for my love of cannabis (Piff)
Lets go down where the lights stay bright
The brightest lights are where the true excitement lies
And girls get left if they don't get it right like...
Not all girls will make the cut for a night of partying and seduction
Push to the Max. I could never do the minimum
I always strive for the best and refuse to settle for less
Give me any game and I bet you I'll be winnin' 'em
I have confidence in my abilities to come out on top in any situation
Swimmin' in women with their own condominiums
I have no shortage of attractive women, some of whom even have their own homes
That's why they call me a "Bad Boy."
My reputation as a seductive Bad Boy precedes me
You're looking like a star and I'm a fan girl
I'm drawn to the way you're shining like a star, I can't help but be a fan
And I ain't sayin' that to get up in your pants girl, but, Ha!
My attraction to you is genuine, and not just to get you into bed
You got a rockin' body
Your physique is absolutely stunning
6 a.m. no hotel lobby
The night went on so long that it's now the early morning and we're still partying
It's after hours so lets after party
The party never truly ends, let's keep going
All these girls around me
There's an abundance of attractive girls surrounding me
I'll let you drown me
I'm willing to fully immerse myself in the party scene with you
If you let me swim in your soul
In exchange, I want to have a deep connection with you on an emotional level
I'll stop when, I feel like I'm locked in
I won't leave until I know that we've made a meaningful connection
Then I've gotta let you go. And I'll say
But eventually, I'll have to move on, and I'll make sure to let you know
