lyrics

Before you thinking I’m soft, let’s get one thing understood
You can’t keep on brushing me off, you’re gonna treat me like you should, uh huh
You’re cooler than a polar bear’s toenails, oh hell, the hawk’s got nothin’ on you
When it gets a little bit warm, I’ll betcha’ll warm up to me too

I can’t wait for summertime when I make you mine and I’ll never let you go
And once I gotcha, never gonna drop ya, I’ll put ya in my pocket so…
I can save a little some for now, And save a little some for later, uh huh

Winter’s got me covered up I need the sun to come out soon
When you see me in this dress, I know you’ll change your attitude, uh huh
You’re cooler than the pillow’s other side, no jive, bet you bleed iced tea, for true
I’ll give it ‘bout 15 degrees, and then I’m putting all of this on you

I can’t wait for summertime when I make you mine and I’ll never let you go
And once I gotcha, never gonna drop ya, I’ll put ya in my pocket so…
I can save a little some for now, And save a little some for later, uh huh
I can save a little some for now, oh yeah…

And have a pocketful of joy, pocketful of joy, pocketful of joy
A pocketful of joy, pocketful of joy, pocketful of joy, oh, oh…
I can’t wait for summertime when I make you mine and I’ll never let you go
And once I gotcha, never gonna drop ya, I’ll put ya in my pocket so…
I can’t wait for summertime when I make you mine and I’ll never let you go
And once I gotcha, never gonna drop ya, I’ll put ya in my pocket so…
I can’t wait for summertime when I make you mine and I’ll never let you go
And once I gotcha, never gonna drop ya, I’ll put ya in my pocket so…

I can save a little some for now, And save a little some for later, uh huh
I can save a little some for now, And save a little some for later
I can save a little some for now, And save a little some for later
