About Girls of Summer

"Girls of Summer" is a single by American hard rock band Aerosmith. Released in 2002 as the only single from the band's 2002 greatest hits album, O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits, the song was written by lead singer Steven Tyler, guitarist Joe Perry and professional songwriter Marti Frederiksen in Hawaii, following the end of the Just Push Play Tour. The song, described by the band's frequent collaborator Jack Douglas as "George Harrison meets the Beach Boys", reflected the laid back atmosphere of its composition, where according to Tyler, he along with Perry and Fredericksen utilized Pro Tools and just started flailing to see which vibe would come out. Another song from those sessions, "Bad Enough", was originally submitted for the Spider-Man soundtrack - where it was rejected and replaced with an Aerosmith cover of the "Spider-Man" theme song - before being rewritten into another track present in Oh Yeah!, "Lay It Down". The single reached #25 on the U. S. Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

When winter hush turns summer pink
In half the time it takes to blink
But it all depends on what' choo think
About the girls of summer

When all you think of all day long
Is a pretty face inside a song
With a thought like that you can't go wrong
About the girls of summer

(What do you know, what everybody's talking about)

Some girls are all about it
Some girls they love to let it fly
Some girls can't live without it
Some girls are born to make you cry

Over and over again

My favorite thing that drives me wild
Is when a city girl walks a country mile
For a boy she loves
God bless the child inside the girls of summer

(What do you know, what everybody's talking about)

Some girls are all about it
Some girls they love to let it fly
Some girls can't live without it
Some girls are born to make you cry

Yeah over and over again
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

They get'choo climbin' the walls
They get'choo caught in their spell
They get'choo speakin' in tongues
Could this be heaven or hell
To fall in love twice a day
Is such a sweet price to pay

S'il vous plaît

The best things about life are free
The pussy willow up your tree
To the one who climbs they'll always be the girl yeah

Some girls are all about it
Some girls they love to let it fly
Some girls no doubt about it
Some girls are born to make you cry

Some girls can't live without it
Some girls got twenty reasons why

Over and over and over and over and over
