What up girl, yeah
I hear all that
That’s real nice and all that
It’s been, it been good though
Cause it’s been a year
It been real good
Cause it been so good
And it’s summertime all over again
Tell me something
Out of all the guys that approach me
Walking up to me like they know me
You were the one that stayed aside
Waited a while and took your time
You don’t know how impressing
Your curiosity was to me
It was the fourth day of July
Looked in my eyes and saw that I
I wanted more than just a man (man)
I needed a friend (I want a friend)
Someone I can talk to
Someone who’ll really listen
When you touched my hand
The sun got brighter then
Trusting you I close my eyes
And felt our love begin
It was the summertime (when we fell in love)
It was the summertime (when heaven shined on us)
It was the summertime (baby there is nothing like the)
Summertime, summertime
Now it’s been a year and we’re closer
Fall in love again when I hold ya
I know that God set you aside
For me and now, you are my prize
Wanna grow old with ya
Fill our house with your pictures
Have a son for you
A little girl for me
Together we’ll raise a family
I wanna understand everything you talk about baby
That’s my word, cause I feel the same way
You know what I mean?
I’ve been feeling this way for a long time too
And a it’s like I wanna be a daddy
I wanna be your lover
Your everything, I just wanna share life with you
Just like yo
That’s why I tell you I love you
I use to sit back and analyze on how we first met
A year ago on the barbershop steps
You and your friends walked past me
I called you back like “Come here, sexy. Have a word with you yet, please?”
Congratulations on being my gift
God wrapped you up tight and he preserved my wish
I’m not a psychic it’s just that I’m in tune with self
I swear the vibes got heavy when we got real close
Your whole demeanor caused me to aks questions and stare at you strangely
Have I found my baby?
If so do tell me now
Look like you was ’bout to say something, you just broke a smile
Gave me the number and I said I’d dial (yeah)
A year later we on the block like “bow”
Tell me something, is it me or we up to something?
Love to love ya, you’re my friend and my woman
It was the summertime (when we fell in love)
It was the summertime (when heaven shined on us)
It was the summertime (baby there is nothing like the)
Summertime, summertime
This is Theodore, that’s right
I keep hearing this all in my head over and over
I can’t get it out, it’s crazy
You know what I’m saying baby
This joint is real, I like that
Tell me something
It was the summertime (when we fell in love)
It was the summertime (when heaven shined on us)
It was the summertime (baby there is nothing like the)
Summertime, summertime
