Lyrics

[Chorus]

Kiss me hard before you go

Summertime sadness

I just wanted you to know

That, baby, you the best

[Verse 1]

I got my red dress on tonight

Dancing in the dark, in the pale moonlight

Done my hair up real big, beauty queen style

High heels off, I'm feeling alive

[PreChorus]

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air

Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare

Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere

Nothin' scares me anymore (One, two, three, four)

[Chorus]

Kiss me hard before you go

Summertime sadness

I just wanted you to know

That, baby, you the best

[Chorus]

I got that summertime, summertime sadness

Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness

Got that summertime, summertime sadness

Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]

I'm feelin' electric tonight

Cruisin' down the coast, goin' 'bout ninety-nine

Got my bad baby by my heavenly side

I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight

[PreChorus]

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air

Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare

Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere

Nothin' scares me anymore (One, two, three, four)

[Chorus]

Kiss me hard before you go

Summertime sadness

I just wanted you to know

That, baby, you the best

[Chorus]

I got that summertime, summertime sadness

Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness

Got that summertime, summertime sadness

Oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]

Think I'll miss you forever

Like the stars miss the sun in the mornin' sky

Later's better than never

Even if you're gone, I'm gonna drive, drive, drive

[Chorus]

I got that summertime, summertime sadness

Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness

Got that summertime, summertime sadness

Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]

Kiss me hard before you go

Summertime sadness

I just wanted you to know

That, baby, you the best

[Chorus]

I got that summertime, summertime sadness

Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness

Got that summertime, summertime sadness

Oh, oh, oh
