I don’t wanna write this love song.
I—I’m fighting this urge,
But you make me say “Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh”
—damn!—
‘Cause I—I can’t find the words.
I don’t wanna write this love song.
Just wanna dance all night ’til it hurts,
But you make me say “Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh”
—damn!—
‘Cause I—I can’t find the words!
You stole my heart.
We had a summer fling.
And I told my heart,
It was just a summer thing!
But you made me fall in the winter,
Bloom in the spring.
From June ’til December,
It was you and me!
And I told my heart,
It was just a summer thing,
That it was just a summer thing!
This—this ain’t no love song, it’s just a little ditty, baby.
I just wanna go “Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh”
—damn!—
‘Cause you’re so—, you’re so pretty, baby!
This—this ain’t no love song.
Just wanna watch you dance, sexy baby.
I just wanna go “Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh”
—damn!
That’s if you—if you let me, baby!
You stole my heart.
We had a summer fling!
And I told my heart,
It was just a summer thing!
But you made me fall in the winter,
Bloom in the spring.
From June ’til December,
It was you and me!
And I told my heart,
It was just a summer thing,
That it was just a summer thing!
I will always remember the summer, the summer thing.
Hope, you’ll always remember the summer, the summer thing!
I will always remember the summer, the summer thing.
Hope, you’ll always remember the summer, the summer thing!
You stole my heart.
We had a summer fling!
And I told my heart,
It was just a summer thing!
But you made me fall in the winter,
Bloom in the spring.
From June ’til December,
It was you and me!
And I told my heart,
It was just a summer fling,
That it was just a summer thing!
