Wild nights, hot and crazy days Can you feel the beat Everybody's rockin' in the summer heat As the sun goes down Well deep down inside For those wild nights, hot and crazy days I'm gonna break-out I'm gonna drive my car

(Ah summer nights) Summer nights and my radio Well that's all we need, baby, don'tcha know? We celebrate when the gang's all here In the heat of the summer Ain't no way I'm sittin' home tonight

The hell raisin' heat of the summer We were livin' every minute of the night Like there might never be another We were runnin' all the caution lights We were learnin' to fly with a little tail gunner If there was somethin' to burn, we were burnin' it

All the way down Let it ride Gotta check it out Out on the street The summer heat Boys playing games Changing their names Pulling tricks Getting their kicks

All the way down Let it ride Trying everything now Gotta check it out Got to get off! Out on the street The summer heat Boys playing games Changing their names

(Girl) girl gone bad Ah lazy eyes in the summer heat, Fresh from outta town Now she's working on the street, Shakin' poor boys down Uh (girl) uh girl gone bad Found that girl with a lonesome John, But she should've been with me Guess that woman fallen in

I can't escape the heat Under your cover Swimming pool summer Gimme your number I wanna take the heat Physical wonder A sensual hunter I break a sweat at the château A party crowd that I don't know

Outside the soundness of your mind Bathing your soul in silver tears Beneath a blackened summer sky Praying for time to disappear Chase the water racing from the sky

I feel like summer You can feel it in the streets On a day like this, the heat It feel like summer I'm hopin' that this world will change But it just seems the same

Like the air you can Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud
