I can't wait for summer any longer

it's a shame, really
making me fall in love with you in winter
when I've stripped off your clothes
when I see you in the freezing air
your arms wrapped around your bare, shivering body
when I see your face covered in tears
darling
you're so beautiful
you must forgive my rudeness, my impertinence
I only wanted to see what you looked like in a skirt
I can't wait for summer any longer

I CAN´T WAIT FOR SUMMER ANY LONGER

I can't wait for summer any longer

it's a shame, really
making me fall in love with you in winter
when I've stripped off your clothes
when I see you in the freezing air
your arms wrapped around your bare, shivering body
when I see your face covered in tears
darling
you're so beautiful
you must forgive my rudeness, my impertinence
I only wanted to see what you looked like in a skirt
I can't wait for summer any longer

I can't wait for summer any longer

it's a shame, really
making me fall in love with you in winter
when I've stripped off your clothes
when I see you in the freezing air
your arms wrapped around your bare, shivering body
when I see your face covered in tears
darling
you're so beautiful
you must forgive my rudeness, my impertinence
I only wanted to see what you looked like in a skirt
I can't wait for summer any longer
