Summertime Lyrics by Beyoncé

Crazy in Love - EP

2003

[Intro: P. Diddy]
Yeah
There's three things I like about the summertime
Drop tops, long hot nights and summer love
Yeah
Ayo, B
Tell 'em what time it is
Let's go

[Verse 1: Beyoncé]
Out of all the guys that approached me
Walkin' up to me like they know me
You were the one that stayed aside
Waited a while and took your time
You don't know how impressing
Your curiosity was to me
It was the fourth day of July
Looked in my eyes and saw that I

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
I wanted more than just a man (Man)
I needed a friend (A friend)
Someone I can talk to (Oh)
Someone who'll really listen (Yeah)
When you touched my hand (Hand)
The sun got brighter then (Brighter then)
Trusting you, I closed my eyes
And felt our love begin

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
It was the summertime
When we fell in love, it was the summertime
When heaven shined on us, it was the summertime
Baby, there is nothing like the summertime (Summertime)
(Oh)

[Verse 2: Beyoncé]
Now it's been a year, and we're closer
Fall in love again when I hold ya
I know that God set you aside
For me and now, you are my prize
Wanna grow old wit' ya
Fill a house wit' your pictures
Have a son for you, a little girl for me
Together we'll raise a family

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
I wanted more than just a man
I needed a friend (You are my best friend)
Someone I can talk to (Yeah)
Someone who'll really listen (Yeah)
When you touched my hand (Yeah)
The sun got brighter then (Brighter then)
Trusting you, I closed my eyes (Yeah)
And felt our love begin

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
It was the summertime
When we fell in love, it was the summertime
When heaven shined on us, it was the summertime
Baby, there is nothing like the summertime (Summertime)
(Oh)

[Verse 3: P. Diddy & Beyoncé]
Yo, lemme holla at you a sec
So what's it gonna be, him or me? (Yeah)
We can cruise the world for pearls
And gator boots for girls
Summertime in the linen (Oh), fresh fruit (Yeah)
Livin' the life that's forbidden for just you (Let's go)
No worries, you ain't gotta be stressed out (Uh-uh)
No hurries, you ain't gotta be rushed out (Uh-uh)
Sit back, relax, ma, take your time
Now, have a taste of the finest wine
Every minute that we have's (Oh-oh, oh-oh) a blessing to me (A blessing to me; Oh-oh, oh-oh)
And in your heart (Oh-oh, oh-oh), you's a "Child of Destiny" (That's right; Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Them hot summers that we had especially (Yeah; Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Love who you is, girl, you bring out the best in me (Thank you)
And it's like that, you know it's like that (That's right)
And that's the plan, where's your hand? Lemme ice that (Let's go)
You my heart, ain't no chance you could fight that
The summertime, when you hot, baby, take that, take that (Oh)
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
Oh, it was the summertime
When we fell in love, it was the summertime
When heaven shined on us, it was the summertime
Baby, there is nothing like the summertime (Summertime)
(Oh)
