[English]

Ooh, ooh yeah

Alright

That summer girl, she keeps me dreamin'

...

While every heart is flutterin'

She walks the street outside

Sets every pulse a-racing

They're looking, she don't mind

Summer girl

Oh, that summer girl

...

And she don't care for money

'Cause she got all she needs

Got legs like liquid honey

Eyes the colour of the sea

Oh, that summer girl

You know

While every wolf is whistling

And every dog's a fool

She knows they're so bereft

Of everything she thinks is cool

Summer girl

Oh, that summer girl

...

And I've got a midnight crisis

It's taking over me

No tricks for sweet seduction

No stealing fantasies from summer girl

No diamonds or pearls

...

Summer girl

Feels like I'm in love again

Oh, that summer girl

I want that summer girl

...

Summer girl

You wander past my window

I need you, summer girl

I want you in my world

...

She sips her limoncello

All dressed in gabardine

It's gonna take a special fellow

To melt that icy queen

Summer girl

Oh, that summer girl

No jetset interlopers

Gonna move in quick

No billion dollar playboys

'Cause she won't miss a trick

Summer girl (summer girl)

She likes to talk politics

...

Summer girl

Feels like I'm in love again

Oh, that summer girl

(Oh, that summer)

I want that summer girl

(Oh, that summer)

...

Summer girl, I didn't think I'd want you so

No, no, no

Summer girl, hell I need you in my world

(Summer girl get down with me)

Baby, summer girl

You've got the flow I want inside my life

Oh, that summer girl

How am I gonna live without ya?

(You're the magic that I need)

...

Summer girl

Feels like I'm in love again

Oh, that summer girl

(Oh, that summer)

I want that summer girl

(Oh, that summer)

Summer girl

You wander past my window

I need you, summer girl

I want you in my world

...

Summer girl

...

Yeah, alright

Summer girl

...

Yeah, alright

...
