Summerbaby Lyrics

Summerbaby, come on baby, show me the town
I didn't know that you'd be such a short visit
Once a year I noticed that you're not around
Mama says you went when you were exquisite

If you seen all I done
When I'm alone I do things nobody knows

We were all wondering where you came from
Last night we were hypothesizing that you were an angel
Sometimes it feels like you're looking down
From up above where the angels are found

If you seen all I done
When I'm alone I do things that nobody knows
Every drop of sex and every little mess I make
I was around, I was around

I was around
(nobody knows, nobody knows)
I was around
(nobody knows, nobody knows)
I was around
(nobody knows, nobody knows)
I was around
(nobody knows, nobody-)

Do you see a lot of angels up there like you?
Wolfgang and Vincent van Gogh
Have you seen Josephine?
Someone from town like Marshall Brown?
Or someone you know?

If you seen all I done
When I'm alone I do things nobody knows
Every drop of sex and every little mess I make
I was around, I was around, I was around

I was around
(nobody knows, nobody knows)...

I may be wrong, but to me it sounds like it's discussing ... um, "self-gratification".

He meets this girl one summer and falls in love/lust with her. She leaves for one reason or another, and he fantasizes about her after she's gone. And I'll leave it at that ...

(Someone please tell me I'm wrong!!)

If you take the song to be about masturbation, "I was around" could be a sly way of saying "I came"

They changed the lyrics for the episode of Pete and Pete that this song appeared on. They replaced "Every drop of sex" with "Every time I guess." So even if it is about masturbation, the meaning was hidden well for the show.

The girl probably died based on the "Do you see a lot of angels up their like you?". He still thinks of this girl when he is masturbating and even when he is with other women.

great song and episode but what does it mean the summerbaby could be in omage to pavement i was around is also alot like the line 'every time i come around i get shot' in the pavement song

Cover art for Summerbaby lyrics by Polaris

what season was this episode in

Cover art for Summerbaby lyrics by Polaris

this song is from 'hard days pete' it is is season one i think calling it one of the best shows from nickelodeon is doing pete and pete an injustice. it is easily one of the best shows of all times. the show is so far ahead of its time. and it is something you can enjoy at any age it is fun to go back and watch certain episodes and catchin innuendos

plus each episode has so many different stories that weave together much like seinfeld does. it just sad there were only 3 seasons
