(1978)
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 uh, oh, the summer nights
Oh, well-a, well-a, well-a, uh
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, the summer nights
Oh, well-a, well-a, well-a, uh
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 ten o’clock
Summer fling don’t mean a thing
But uh, oh, the summer nights
Woh woh woh
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
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, 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
Tell me more, tell me more
