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 your heading south You drive me crazy Just remember you can burn me out So get 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 feeling again You put me in a fever 50 stories high And suddenly I'm freezing And I don't know why It's been a long, hot summer And I'm shaking like a cool lemonade If you want to get fresh Get outta my car Cause the boys up here are going to fast I'm taking my time now If you want to fly high Keep outta the sun When your fingers start to run It's no fun So why don't you climb now If you want to get fresh Then take a cold shower Put your back on ice Before you turn sour Nobody can fool me Now I'm cleaning my head And dusting 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 open 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 feeling again You put me in a fever 50 stories high And suddenly I'm freezing And I don't know why It's been a long, hot summer And I'm shaking like a cool lemonade Cause I So why do you bite me So why do you bite me A little late to take it slow But I couldn't wait to party At the cannon ball Not what I wanted Now I've seen it all So find me I've ricochet Around the world Drinking pink champagne It's easy!
