[Verse 1: Early Hours] Let your hair down and put on your party dress Let's live our favorite story with no second guess Told me it's all easier when you do what you're told Borrow my leg to stand on, let's get out of control Give me my daily dose of your coquetry Yeah, I've put some thought into poetry A summer's eve shall I compare to thee? Or is it not to be? [Chorus: Early Hours] Oh, it smells like summer It smells like summer It feels like letting go Oh, it smells like summer Your smile's like summer I think we ought to let him know We won't be waiting for the weekend We're waiting on the sun We don't need anyone's permission To have a little bit of fun [Verse 2: Early Hours] Good stories always come from bad ideas And yesterday was boring so let's end in tears Time waits for no man So we won't wait for time This isn't going to end well but it started out fine Here's an ideal: sleep when you're dead Come over here, sleep with me instead Let's get it started, it is getting late This won't end well, but the middle is great [Chorus] [Outro] Oh, it smells like summer It smells like summer It feels like letting go Oh, it smells like summer Your smile's like summer I think we ought to let him know We won't be waiting for the weekend We won't be waiting on the sun We don't need anyone's permission To have a little bit of fun
