'Til he's main squeezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet me on the rooftop
But at night it's a different world
Ain't it nice just to be a girl?
Come on, come on, let's do the night
Despite the heat, it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
