Summer loving had me a blast Summer loving happened so fast I met a girl crazy for me Met a boy cute as can be Summer days drifting away to oh oh the 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 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 somethings begun but oh oh the 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 bowling in the arcade We went strolling drank lemonade We made out under the dock We stayed out till 10 o'clock Summer fling don't mean a thing but oh oh the 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 He got friendly holding my hand 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 oh oh the 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 doing now Summer dreams ripped at the seams but oh those summer nights
