Lyrics
Summer Of Sam
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Like the summer of Sam, back in '69
I'd be heavily, deadly on the grind
Cause to sing this nice has to be a crime
Of the lettering, I'm murdering 'em
Like the summer of love back in '69
You can say that I'm yours, that my body is divine
I belong to everybody that I walk by
Like hi, hi
I'm the master of my destiny
You haven't seen the best of me
And if you want the rest of me
You'll have to pay a lovely fee
Hard, to stay far, far away from me
Cause I am the baddest girl in NYC
You can look but please don't touch boy
Stay away from me
Baby, I'm a cinnamon girl
Keeping it fresh on the far east side
Baby, I'm a tenement girl
Keepin' it in touch, your cherry pie
B-A-D-D-E-S-T, baddest girl in NYC
Baby, I'm a dangerous girl
You should stay away from me
I've been murdering, I'm murdering 'em
I be murdering, I'm murdering 'em
Like the summer of Sam, back in '69
I've been tying them up, and hang 'em out to dry
Cause I'm hot like that when I walk, they die
I be murdering, I'm murdering them
Like the summer of love back in '69
When I get on the microphone my, my
They be looking at each other like ay, ay, ay
Like bye, bye
Please excuse m-my vivacity, capacity for hating
'Cause it's incredible
It's better if you stay away from me
I know it's hard, hard to stay far, far away from me
I am the baddest girl in NYC
You can look but please don't touch
But boy, step away from me
Baby I'm a cinnamon girl
Keeping it fresh, on the e-est side
Baby I'm a tenement girl
Keepin' in and cut your cherry pie
B-A-D-D-E-S-T, baddest girl in NYC
Baby I'm a dangerous girl
Baby should stay away from me
I've been murdering, I'm murdering 'em
Happily
Murdering, I'm murdering 'em ah, ah
Murdering, I'm murdering 'em
I'm diggable, predicatable
No, everyone knows all my people
I'll give you a fistful
You know you'll be in a fight
Unmissable, invincible, behavior is despicable
If you're lookin' for fun you can come out with me tonight
I am the baddest girl in NYC
I am the baddest, ya liking what you see? Yup!
Baby, I'm a cinnamon girl
Keeping it sweet, on the far east side
Baby, I'm a tenement girl
Keepin' it in touch, your cherry pie
B-A-D-D-E-S-T, baddest girl in NYC
Honey, I'm a dangerous girl
You should stay away from me
