[Verse 1]
August in the heat, sweaty in the street
Tilt-a-whirling (Whirling, whirling)
I can feel your eyes find me in the crowd
Think you like me now (Now, now)
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been seeing you every day
On my block in your white tee
You're looking pretty fine to me
So why are you waiting?
[Chorus]
When I'm slamming in my dancing shoes
Asphalt's hot, and my knees all bruised
It's the summer, got a lot to prove
Can't wait to do it, can you? (No!)
Oh, I'm swaying from side to side
In the neon lights
Sainted halo, underworld goth vibes
You'll do fine for tonight
[Verse 2]
Take me, take me, me ferris wheeling, babe
It's the air I crave (Crave, crave)
When we're up so high, salty wind at night
Make out mountain time (Mountain time)
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been seeing you every day
On my block in your white tee
You're looking pretty fine to me
So why are you waiting?
[Chorus]
When I'm slamming in my dancing shoes
Asphalt's hot, and my knees all bruised
It's the summer, got a lot to prove
Can't wait to do it, can you? (No!)
Oh, I'm swaying from side to side
In the neon lights
Sainted halo, underworld goth vibes
You'll do fine for tonight
[Post-Chorus]
You'll do fine for tonight
You'll do fine for tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been seeing you every day
On my block in your white tee
You're looking pretty fine to me
So why are you waiting?
I've been seeing you everyday
On my block in your white tee
You're looking pretty fine to me
So—
So why are you waiting?
[Chorus]
When I'm slamming in my dancing shoes
Asphalt's hot, and my knees all bruised
It's the summer, got a lot to prove
Can't wait to do it, can you? (No!)
Oh, I'm swaying from side to side
In the neon lights
Sainted halo, underworld goth vibes
You'll do fine for tonight
[Outro]
(I've been seeing you every day
On my block in your white tee
You're looking pretty fine to me)
You'll do fine for tonight
(I've been seeing you every day
On my block in your white tee
You're looking pretty fine to me)
You'll do fine for tonight
