Summer lovin' had me a blast

Summer lovin', happened so fast

I met a girl crazy for me

Met a boy, cute as can be

Summer days driftin' away, to uh-oh those summer nights

[oh-ela-ela-ela-ooh] (rien)

Tell me more, tell me more, did you get very far?

Tell me more, tell me more, like, does he have a car?

She swam by me, she got a cramp

He ran 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?

Took her bowlin' in the Arcade

We went strollin', drank lemonade

We made out under the dock

We stayed up `til ten o'clock

Summer fling don't mean a thing, 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?

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
