Part I: Dirty Girl
Part II: Summer Lover

lyrics

She’s her own female
That’s why I like her
I like her a lot

She don’t know that she’s her own female
She’s her own female and she don’t know
That’s why I like her a lot

I caught a cab to the café to play the charming young man
That’s when she told me:

“Tie me up and cuff me to the window. You know how I like the riptide... You know I like to ride a wave so slowly as the ocean patrol be rolling by...”

Dirty Girl!
I’m on the run—got to get in and get out
You say you won’t be much fun tonight, but I doubt it
I doubt it a lot

Dirty dirty girl,
You know that I’m on the run
You say you won’t be much fun tonight, but I doubt it

Plus, poetry is dead
I’ve got to find something to get into…

Dirty Girl!
I’m on the run—got to get in and get out
You say you won’t be much fun tonight, but I doubt it
I doubt it a lot

Dirty dirty girl,
You know that I’m on the run
You say you won’t be much fun tonight, but I doubt it

Plus, poetry is dead
I’ve got to find something to get into…

“It’s the little things,” you said, those little things that keep me out your bed... But why can’t I play the hero to make you mine again?

Do you remember when I used to think of you as my other half?
Then you went and called me your “summer lover”

I really used to think of you as my other half, until you went and called me your summer lover

“It’s the little things,” you said, those little things that keep me out your bed... You keep calling me a zero
But I don’t mind, my friend
Won’t call you mine again

I used to think of you as my other half
Then you went and called me your summer lover

I really used to think of you as my other half, until you went and called me your summer lover

Poetry is dead, my friend
I’ve got to find something to get into...
