Summertime is almost here Getting the pool clean, we've been waiting all year For some backyard fun, to light the grill To pour the chardonnay that's already chilled When you're singing and laughing you're never alone But the truth is that I wish this house were a home 'cause I got the right stereo and the places to go I got the getaway car and the champagne in the bar I've got the girl by my side, always ready to ride All a man could dream of but I wish, wish I was in love Party's over, we had big fun Barbecue chicken wings and Jamaican rum We played bidwiss and talked all night long And they said, "Gordon, would you give us a song and you that I did" See I get stressed but I'm too blessed to ever complain But I'm human, need a good woman, through the joy and the pain I got the right stereo and the places to go I got the getaway car and the champagne in the bar I've got the girl by my side, always ready to ride All a man could dream of but I wish, wish I was in love With somebody who truly cares, who I know will always be there The good wife, the partner, who can I handle the drama And when the party's over, the one I take home to mama, yeah, yeah With somebody who truly cares, who I know will always be there The good wife, the partner, who can I handle the drama And when the party's over, the one I take home to mama, yeah, yeah
