lyrics

THINKIN MAYBE THAT WE STARTED UP A LITTLE EARLY
HOW WE EVER GUNNA MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT
GOTTA LOTTA LOVE LIVIN IN THE SUMMERTIME OH YEAH
GOT A LOTTA LOVE LIVIN IN THIS LIFE


ITS LIKE COLD RAIN DRIPPIN ON THE HOT FOOTPATH
STIMULATE MY SENSES SEND ME BACK TO THE PAST
TO THEM 80’S SUMMER DAYS PUSHBIKES AND BILLY CARTS
BUNNY HOPPIN GUTTERS ON A MALVERN STAR
THAT LITTLE CUTIE THAT STOLE YA HEART A WEEK LATER YO SHE TORE IT IN HALF
BY THE VERY NEXT DAY YOU’D FORGOTTEN THE PAST
STRAIGHT BACK TO PLAYIN WITH YA MATCHBOX CARS
ONE DAY SEEMED TO LAST FOREVER MY BIG SIS SHE WAS SO DAM CLEAVER
AND SHITTY WEATHER DIDN’T MATTER WHATEVER
MUMS WAS A FIGHTER YO SHE KEPT US TOGETHER
HOW I MISS THOSE SUMMER DAYS LIVIN IN THE SUN THROWIN TIME AWAY
IF I COULD DO IT ALL AGAIN IT WOULD BE THE SAME
AND WHEN I TALK ABOUT IT NOW I CALL IT BACK IN THE DAY


THINKIN MAYBE THAT WE STARTED UP A LITTLE EARLY
HOW WE EVER GUNNA MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT
GOTTA LOTTA LOVE LIVIN IN THE SUMMERTIME OH YEAH
GOT A LOTTA LOVE LIVIN IN THIS LIFE


AS I GOT A LITTLE OLDER THE DAYS SEEMED SHORTER
BUT THEN AGAIN THE NIGHTS THEY GREW LONGER
GIRLS TURNED TO LADIES OH HOW I GREW FONDER
PARTY EVERY WEEKEND UNTIL THE BREAK A DAWN ID
BE PULLIN UP PRETTY HEAVY COME MONDAY
RIDE THROUGH THE EYE OF THE STORM WITH A WRONG FACE
4 DAYS SPENT THINKIN BOUT THE WEEKEND
SUMMER LOVIN GOT YOU JUMPIN OFF THE DEEP END
SO LOOK ALIVE WHO KNOWS WHAT THE NIGHT ‘LL BRING
PLAY THEM CARDS RIGHT THERE’S A CHANCE YA GETTIN IN
I AINT THE QUIET TYPE PREPARE YOURSELF FOR MORTAL SIN
I THINK I OUGHTA TELL YA BABY IM A LITTLE DEVILISH
COOL BREEZE TAKE IT DOWN A NOTCH YOU WANT
STRAIGHT JACKS OR DRIZZLED ON ROCKS SO
SIT BACK BABY KICK OFF THEM SOCKS
AND LET THE MYSTICS DROP IT WE DO IT PROP WHAT

DAYS WERE ALWAYS ALL ABOUT YOU
SUNRISE MADE THE PERFECT VIEW
AND THEM GOOD VIBES CARRIED ON ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
HOPING THAT YOU FEEL IT TOO WE GUNNA TAKE THE SCENIC ROUTE
MY ONE AND ONLY LOVE OH SUMMERTIME

THINKIN MAYBE THAT WE STARTED UP A LITTLE EARLY
HOW WE EVER GUNNA MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT
GOTTA LOTTA LOVE LIVIN IN THE SUMMERTIME OH YEAH
GOT A LOTTA LOVE LIVIN IN THIS LIFE
