Alone in the dark, runnin' those streets

Weather so hot, you can taste the heat

Feels like one of those nights that's gonna be one of those nights

Hey, I saw a little flicker like a flash in the sky

Got my heart beatin' quicker, my little firefly

Don't need the birds and I don't need the bees

When I saw her, I went weak in the knees

Chasin' her tail on a hot summer night

She's my little firefly and I've seen the light

Hear that thunder comin' from above

But there ain't no light without my lightnin' bug

Oh, she took my hand and the summer came alive

Everything worth knowin' I learned from my little firefly

Don't need the birds and I don't need the bees

When I saw her, I went weak in the knees

Chasin' her tail on a hot summer night

She's my little firefly and I've seen the light

I ain't that smart, but I ain't no fool

I asked her, "Do ya?", and she said, "I do"

Now that first summer, it's lasting our whole lives

And it ain't worth livin' without my, my little firefly

Don't need the birds and I don't need the bees

When I saw her, I went weak in the knees

Chasin' her tail on a hot summer night

She's my little firefly and I've seen the light
