Lyrics
[Intro]
Summer days, Summer days
Summer days are for you and I
Summer heat, Summer heat
Summer heat is for you and me
(Whoo!)
[Chorus]
Oh, body, oh, body
Oh, body, oh, body, oh, body
Oh, body, oh, body
Don't fail me now
Oh, body, oh, body
Oh, body, oh, body, oh, body
Oh, body, oh, body
Don't fail me now
(Whoo!)
[Post-Chorus]
In my dreams, my body does not control me
My imagination sets my spirit free
In my mind, I'm free of electricity
My imagination sets my spirit free
(Hey!)
[Verse 1]
Gotta be my fantasy, this reality is too much for me
Get away, get away
Send the light in on holiday
(Whoo!)
[Chorus]
Oh, body, oh, body
Oh, body, oh, body, oh, body
Oh, body, oh, body
Don't fail me now
Oh, body, oh, body
Oh, body, oh, body, oh, body
Oh, body, oh, body
Don't fail me now
(Whoo!)
[Post-Chorus]
In my dreams, my body does not control me
My imagination sets my spirit free
In my mind, I'm free of electricity
My imagination sets my spirit free
(Whoo, hey!)
[Bridge]
Today is beautiful (Ooh-whoa)
Today is beautiful (Ooh-whoa)
Today is beautiful (Ooh-whoa)
Today is beautiful
[Chorus]
Oh, body, oh, body
Oh, body, oh, body, oh, body
Oh, body, oh, body
Don't fail me now
Oh, body, oh, body
Oh, body, oh, body, oh, body
Oh, body, oh, body
Don't fail me now
(Whoo!)
[Outro]
In my dreams, my body does not control me
My imagination sets my spirit free
In my mind, I'm free of electricity
My imagination sets my spirit free
(Hey!)
