Long Hot Summer

I know you like to wear my dressing gown

When I'm not there

I guess you like it in my shoes

Just 'cause you drive a Maserati

And the ladies stare

Don't mean you'll go as fast as I do

I know it's summer in the city

And the sun is high

But you can play it cool again

'Cause boy, I seen you disco dancing

With your pants on fire

We need a little tropical rain

So baby, baby

Watch the needle when you're heading south

You drive me crazy

Just remember you can burn me out

Slow it down

It's been a long hot summer

And it's 95 degrees in the shade

It's only Sunday morning

And I need that Friday feelin' again

You put me in a fever fifty stories high

And suddenly I'm freezin' and I don't know why

It's been a long hot summer

And I'm shakin' like a cool lemonade

If you wanna get fresh get outta my car

'Cause the boys like you are goin' too fast

I'm takin' my time now

If you wanna fly high keep out of the sun

When your fingers start to burn it's no fun

So why don't you climb down?

If you wanna get fresh then take a cold shower

Put your back on ice before you turn sour

Nobody can fool me

Now I'm cleanin' my head and dustin' my eyes

Every time I feel the temperature rise

I need you to cool me

I'm partied out of house and home

So baby, if you fight me

How you gonna like me?

Runnin' down that old Kent Road

So think before you bite me

How you gonna get back home?

It's been a long hot summer

And it's 95 degrees in the shade

It's only Sunday morning

And I need that Friday feelin' again

You put me in a fever fifty stories high

And suddenly I'm freezin' and I don't know why

It's been a long hot summer

And I'm shakin' like a cool lemonade

'Cause I, I, I might be

So why do you fight me?

'Cause I, I, I might be

So why do you fight me?

A little late

To take it slow

But I couldn't wait

To party

Like a cannonball

Got what I wanted

Now I've seen it all

So find me

I've ricocheted around the world

Drinking pink champagne, it's easy

Turn the heat too high

It's what I wanted

But I just can't lie

Now I'm queasy
