[P. Diddy - talking]

Yeah

There's three things I like about the summertime

Drop tops, long hot nights and summer love

Yeah
Hey yo, B

Tell 'em what time it is

Let' s go



[Beyonce]

Out of all the guys that approached me

Walking 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 curiousity was to me

It was the fourth day of July

Looked in my eyes and saw that I



[Break - Beyonce]

I wanted more than just a man (man)

I needed a friend (I want a friend)

Someone I can talk to (oh)

Someone who'll really listen (yeah)

When you touched my hand (yeah yeah)

The sun got brighter then (brighter then)

Trusting you I closed my eyes

And felt our love begin



[Chorus - Beyonce]

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 (ohh)



[Beyonce]

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 with ya

Fill a house with ya pictures

Have a son for you, a little girl for me

Together we'll raise a family



[Break - Beyonce]

I wanted more then just a man

I needed a friend

You are my best friend (yeah)

Someone I could talk to

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

and felt our love begin



[Chorus]



[P. Diddy]

Yo let me holla at you for a sec

So what's in gonna be, him or me? (yeah)

We can cruise the world for pearls

And bare boots for girls

Summertime in the linen, fresh fruit

Livin the life that's forbidden for just you (let's go)

No worries you ain't gotta be stressed out

No hurries you ain't gotta be rushed out

Sit back relax ma take your time

Now have a taste of the finest wine

Every minute that we have's a blessing to me

And in your heart you's a "Child of Destiny" (that's right)

Them hot summers that we had especially

Love who you is girl, you bring out the best of me

And it's like that, you know it's like that (that's right)

And that's your plan, where's your hand let me ice that

You my heart ain't no chance you could fight that

The summertime, when you hot baby take that, take that

Yeah..



[Chorus]
