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...

Covered by multiple other artists



Summer me, winter me
And with your kisses morning me, evening me
And as the world sleeps far away, star away
Forever me with love
Wonder me, wander me
Then by a fire pleasure me, peaceful me
And in the silence quietly, whisper me
Forever me with love, forever me with love
And every day I'll gentle you, tender you
And oh, the way I'll velvet you, clover you
I'll wrap you up and ribbon you, rainbow you
And shower you with shine
Suddenly, magically
We found each other there we are, here we are
I plan to let you happy me, summer me, winter me
Always be mine
'Cause suddenly, magically
We found each other there we are, here we are
I plan to let you happy me, summer me, winter me
Always be mine

Composer(s): George Jones
Performer(s): George Jones;
Skeets McDonald; Dolly Parton; Don Reno



Oh you said you were my baby 
now I know that you're my baby
But it seems to me you got rovin' eye
If you wanna be my baby then you gotta be my baby
You can't keep your finger in two different fire
I remember how you pleaded when you told me that you needed
My lovin' I believe it without a doubt
So if you wanna be my baby then you gotta be my baby
And you gotta leave 'em kissin' cousins out
Oh when you're high steppin' I'm a crawlin' low
I get suspicious and I'm a gonna tell you so
If you wanna be my baby then you gotta be my baby
And be nobody's baby but mine

Now I heard there was another so I went and asked your mother
If anybody hung around besides me
She gave me no satisfaction and now I can't take no action
But I think I'll hang around and see
If you wanna be my baby then you gotta be my baby
And you gotta come to me and tell me so
If you're gonna be my baby then you gotta be my baby
And I'm tired of waitin' round so let me know
Yes when you're high steppin'...

Summer Love
Composer(s): Kay Thompson
Performer(s): Andy Williams



Who will be your summer love
Like I was last summer
Sharing every moment of
Things we did last summer

Who will be satisfied
Just to be by your side
Who will kiss you, hold you tight
Two silver silhouettes
In the summer moonlight

Will you walk along the beach
Like we did last summer
Counting stars way out of reach
Like we did last summer

Will you tell your heart, beware
This is just a summer affair
Or will you fall in love for keeps
Like I did last summer

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

You Got To Lose
Composer(s): Earl Hooker
Performer(s): Earl Hooker; George Thorogood



You got to lose
You can't win all the time
You got to lose
You can't win all the time
Well I know pretty baby
I see trouble comin' down the line
Well I was out on the streets baby
I did not have no money
Don't you worry pretty baby
I'll be back on my feet soon honey
You got to lose
You can't win all the time
Well I know pretty baby
I see trouble comin' down the line
You got to lose
You can't win all the time
You got to lose
You can't win all the time
Yes I know pretty baby
I see trouble comin' down the line
Yeah I was out on the streets
I did not have no friends
I didn't have no money
And nothing I could spend
You got to lose
You can't win all the time
Well I know pretty baby
I see trouble comin' down the line

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

That's how summer ended

You Got The Silver
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones;
Anne Haigis; Love Olzon; Susan Tedeschi



Hey babe, what's in your eyes?
I saw them flashing like airplane lights
You fill my cup, babe, that's for sure
I must come back for a little more

You got my heart you got my soul
You got the silver you got the gold
You got the diamonds from the mine
Well that's all right, it'll buy some time

Tell me, honey, what will I do
When I'm hungry and thirsty too
Feeling fooling (and that's for sure)
Just waiting here at your kitchen door?

Hey baby, what's in your eyes?
Is that the diamonds from the mine?
What's that laughing in your smile?
I don't care, no, I don't care

Oh babe, you got my soul
You got the silver you got the gold
If that's your love, just leave me blind
I don't care, no, that's no big surprise

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

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 

You Got Me Hummin'

Performer(s): Sam & Dave;
and various other artists



I don't know what you got
But it's gettin' to me
It makes my cold nights hot
Hot winds just blow right thru me

Oh, power!
Lady, it's in your hands

Chorus:

You got me hummin' now
Ya you got me hummin' now

I wake up early at night
I can't get back to sleep now
I'm walking in a red light
Tired of talking, I try to sleep now

When I try I sleep walk
That's when my feet, they start a runnin'

Blue Snowflakes
Composer(s): Billy Hayes
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Blue Snowflakes cover the ground
When a blue lover has no sweetheart around
And those Blue Snowflakes fall from the skies
Like the blue, blue teardrops from my eyes

Sweethearts shopping everywhere, dashing through the snow
The gifts all wrapped in bright red ribbons everywhere I go
Decorating trees of green for the ones they love
But for me I only see Blue Snowflakes from above

Blue Snowflakes cover the ground
When a blue lover has no sweetheart around
And those Blue Snowflakes falls from the skies
Like the blue, blue teardrops from his eyes

I remember her first kiss on an old sleigh ride
The white snowflakes looked just like stardust with her by my side
It was then she promised me someday we would wed
Now those wedding bells will ring for some else instead

Blue Snowflakes follow me round
Only blue memories in my heart can be found
And those Blue Snowflakes fall from the skies
Like the blue, blue teardrops from my eyes
Like the blue, blue teardrops from my eyes

You Got Me
Composer(s): Booker T. Jones
Performer(s): Levon Helm



You got me spinning
You got me spinning like a spinning top
You got me hoping
Hoping this love will never stop

(Refrain)
You gave your love to me, and all my dreams
Your love is making me believe in me

You got me burning
You got me burning like a pile of steam
You got me ruuning
Got me running like a pile of steam

(Refrain)

You got me knowing
Knowing that you in my life I'd spend
You got me rolling
Rolling like a river around the bend
You got me turning
Turning around like a spinning top
You know you got me knowing
Knowing our love would never stop
