Summer of love Summer of love
I've been wiating for the man Just buzzin' around Downtown Waiting for that very special Comes in to see what I got Orange popsicles and lemonade

Summer Nights Composer(s): Warren Casey - Jim Jacobs First release by: John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John & Cast - 1978 Covered by multiple other artists
Summer loving had me a blast Summer loving happened so fast I met a girl crazy for me Met a boy cute as can be Summer days drifting away to Oh oh the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more Did you get very far Tell me more, tell me more Like does he have a car
She swam by me she got a cramp He ran by me got my suit damp I saved her life she nearly drowned He showed off splashing around Summer sun somethings begun but Oh oh the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more Was it love at first sight? Tell me more, tell me more Did she put up a fight?
Took her bowling in the arcade We went strolling drank lemonade We made out under the dock We stayed out till 10 o'clock Summer fling don't mean a thing But oh oh the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more But you don't gotta brag Tell me more, tell me more Cause he sounds like a drag
He got friendly holding my hand She got friendly down in the sand He was sweet just turned eighteen Well she was good you know what I mean Summer heat boy and girl meet But oh oh the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more How much dough did he spend? Tell me more, tell me more Could she get me a friend?
It turned colder that's where it ends So I told her we'd still be friends Then we made our true love vow Wonder what she's doing now
Summer dreams ripped a the seams But oh those summer nights Tell me more, tell me more
You Gotta Go Composer(s): Lionel Bart; Mike Pratt; Tommy Steele Performer(s): Tommy Steele & The Steelmen
Some folks get kicks cutting the rug Some folks like to spit in the jug Some folks stay at home sitting in snug Not me, I got the travelling bug
When you gotta go, you gotta go Something down below Comes right up and tells you so One thing that I know When you gotta go, you gotta go-go-go
This guy takes his chick to a dance This might start a future romance But this romance ain't getting a chance 'Cause suddenly he gets ants in his pants
When you gotta go, you gotta go Something down below Comes right up and tells you so One thing that I know When you gotta go, you gotta go-go-go
A sailor has to go to sea A builder has to go to tea One day you must come to me And that's just how it oughta be
When you gotta go, you gotta go Something down below Comes right up and tells you so One thing that I know When you gotta go, you gotta go-go-go
Been to Spain and Timbuktoo Been to Maine and Calamazoo Gonna get 'em when I'm through Baby you'll be travelling too
When you gotta go, you gotta go Something down below Comes right up and tells you so One thing that I know When you gotta go, you gotta go-go and go...

You Got To Me Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Tonics
Mama told me that some day it would happen But she never said that it would happen like this Papa said, "Look out, some girl'll catch you nappin' Some little girl will get to you with her kiss" You got to me You brought me to may knees Never thought I'd say please, girl You got to my soul You got control You got to me, you got to be mine
Used to slip though every girl's hand like water There never was one who could ever tie me down Straight ahead and steady as Gibraltar 'Til you brought me tumblin' to the ground
You got to me You brought me to may knees Never thought I'd say please, girl You got to my soul You got control You got to me, you got to be mine
The Summer Knows (aka Theme From 'Summer of 42' - 1972) Composer(s): Marilyn Bergman - Alan Bergman - Michel Legrand First release by: Michel Legrand - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
The summer smiles, the summer knows And unashamed, she sheds her clothes The summer smoothes the restless sky And lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie The summer knows, the summer's wise She sees the doubts within your eyes And so she takes her summer time Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger Twists the world 'round her summer finger Lets you see the wonder of her arms And if you've learned your lessons well There's little more for her to tell One last caress, it's time to dress for fall

Summer Kisses, Winter Tears Composer(s): Fred Wise - Ben Weisman - Jack Lloyd First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley & The Jordanaires - 1960/1961 Covered by: Julee Cruise - 1991
Summer kisses, Winter tears That was what she gave to me Never thought that I'd travel all alone The trail of memories
Happy hours, lonely years But I guess I can't complain For I still recall the Summer sun Through all the Winter rain
The fire of love, the fire of love Can burn from afar And nothing can light the dark of the night Like a falling star Summer kisses, Winter tears Like the stars they fade away Leaving me to spend my lonely nights With dreams of yesterday
The fire of love, the fire of love Can burn from afar And nothing can light the dark of the night Like a falling star Summer kisses, Winter tears Like the stars they fade away Leaving me to spend my lonely nights With dreams of yesterday
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights With dreams of yesterday Summer kisses, Winter tears
You Got The Wrong Man Composer(s): Joe Barnhill; Wayne Perry Performer(s): Tim McGraw
Your eyes say that you've been hurt before And you can't take the heartache anymore You think I'll do what he's done to you Break your trust and be untrue But baby this is me you're talkin' to
You got the wrong man, it's not me A case of mistaken identity I didn't break your heart you see What can I do to make you understand You got the wrong man
I know you think that love will never last And you see your future like the past You don't want to make the same mistake You think that I'm one more to make But baby, I'm not him for goodness sake
You got the wrong man, it's not me A case of mistaken identity I didn't break your heart you see What can I do to make you understand You got the wrong man
You think I'll do what he's done to you Break your trust and be untrue But baby this is me you're talkin' to
You got the wrong man, it's not me A case of mistaken identity I didn't break your heart you see What can I do to make you understand You got the wrong man
Summer Is Over (French Version: L'été Est Fini - 1964) Composer(s): Clive Westlake - Tom Springfield Performer(s): Dusty Springfield - 1964
The evening is gently falling The flowers are slowly fading The boats are all moored to shore Everything tells me that summer is over
The sky is suddenly turning grey Above, the clouds and the rain The leaves are falling And are carried away by the wind Everything tells me that the summer is over
Oh, another star twinkles from afar The moon is weak and pale There is hope no more There's no one there And then it's already autumn
Above, the birds have flown away The love that I had has gone With tears in my eyes I said goodbye to him That's how summer ended
Oh, another star twinkles from afar The moon is weak and pale There is hope no more There's no one there And then it's already autumn
Above, the birds have flown away The love that I had has gone With tears in my eyes I said goodbye to him That's how summer ended That's how summer ended
L'été Est Fini (English Version: Summer Is Over - 1964) Composer(s): Clive Westlake - Tom Springfield - A. Salvet Performer(s): Dusty Springfield - 1964
Le soir qui descend doucement Les fleurs qui se fanent lentement Et tous ces bateaux Qui ne vont plus sur l'eau Tout me dit que l'été est fini
Le ciel qui soudain devient gris Là bas, les nuages et la pluie Les feuilles qui sont mortes Et que le vent emporte Tout me dit que l'été est fini
Oh, plus une étoile au loin me scintille La lune inutile et pâle L'espoir m'abandonne Il n'y a plus personne Puis, déjà c'est l'automne
Là bas, les oiseaux sont partis L'amour que j'avais s'est enfuit Les larmes dans les yeux Je lui ai dit adieu C'est ainsi que l'été a fini
Oh, plus une étoile au loin me scintille La lune inutile et pâle L'espoir m'abandonne Il n'y a plus personne Puis, déjà c'est l'automne
Là bas, les oiseaux sont partis L'amour que j'avais s'est enfuit Les larmes dans les yeux Je lui ai dit adieu C'est ainsi que l'été a fini C'est ainsi que l'été a fini

Summer In The City Composer(s): John Sebastian - Mark Sebastian - Steve Boone First release by: The Lovin' Spoonful - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down Isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, In the city, In the summer In the city
Cool town, evening in the city Dressing so sharp and looking so pretty Cool cat, looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city Till I'm wheezing at a bus stop Running up the stairs, gonna meet you at the rooftop But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And Babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, In the city, In the summer In the city
