  • Met her at a guitar shop on Santa Monica and 7th Street
    The salesman tried to get my attention to sell me a Mexican Fender
    She came to get her ten thoudand steps and hang out with her boyfriend
    But I was only trying to get to know her so I took her out to the ocean
    It was hot, hot, hundred degrees
    But she only went in up to her knees
    She didn't want to take off her jeans 'cause that would be insane

    My summer love, oo-we-oo
    My summer love, oo-we-oo
    Oh she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not
    Oh she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not

    She got a bachelor's degree in physics and a job in computer programming
    That's pretty cool for a singer in a band so I knew we would end up jamming
    Later that night we went to a gig and she asked for some advice
    "What do you do with your hands when you're singing, do you just hold onto the mic?"
    It was hot, hot, hundred degrees
    And the trash overflowed out on the street
    The heartbreak DJ stepped to me but I just couldn't get enough

    Of my summer love, oo-we-oo
    My summer love, oo-we-oo
    Oh she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not
    Oh she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not

    Gonna fly so high
    To a place that we have never seen
    Ever since you came 'round
    In a greasy tee and faded jeans, woah
    I got a cozy pad around the corner
    Slide a little closer

    My summer love, oo-we-oo
    My summer love, oo-we-oo
    Oh she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not
    Oh she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not
    Oh she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not
    Oh she loves me, she loves me, she loves me not Writer/s: Rivers Cuomo, Tobias Gad
