1st part
| get, meet (2x), have, happen, |
Summer lovin’ had me a blast
Summer lovin’, happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
I met a boy, cute as can be
Summer days driftin’ away, to
uh-oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more, did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more, like, does he have a car?
2nd Part
| get (2x), drown, save, show, be, put, go, swim |
She swam by me, she got a cramp
he went by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
he showed off, splashing around
Summer sun, something’s begun,
but uh-oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more, was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more, did she put up a fight?
3rd Part
| make, drink, stay, go, take |
Took her bowlin’ in the Arcade
we went strollin’, drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
we stayed up till ten o’clock
Summer fling don’t mean a thing,
but uh-oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more, but you don’t gotta brag
Tell me more, tell me more, ’cause he sounds like a drag
4th Part
| turn, get (2x), be (2x), spend |
He got friendly, holdin’ my hand
well she got friendly, down in the sand
He was sweet, just turned eighteen
well she was good, you know what I mean
Summer heat, boy and girl meet,
but uh-oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more, how much dough did he spend?
Tell me more, tell me more, could she get me a friend?
5th Part
| make, rip, turn, tell |
It turned colder, that’s where it ends
so I told her we’d still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
wonder what she’s doin’ now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams,
but oh, those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more.
