Lesson 1

Summer lovin' had me a blast Summer lovin', happened so fast I met a girl crazy for meI 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?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? Took her bowlin' in the Arcade We went strollin', drank lemonade We made out under the dock we stayed up until 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 bragTell me more, tell me more, Cause he sounds like a drag

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?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
