(R. Siegel/B. Meinunger)

You say you love me
And you want me for your wife
You know, I like you, too
But I say no (but I say no)
It's nothing special
You just picked the wrong, wrong time
For it is summer, don't you know?

So listen, I'll never marry
Never, never marry in the summertime
Only free but seems so
Don't you cut my wings off
Hoeny, it's funny forget when it's sunny
So why get wed?
I'll never marry
Never, never marry in the summertime
Please believe you get me only if you let me fly
(let me fly, let me fly, let me fly,
let me fly, let me fly, let me fly-y-y-y)

Wait for the winter
Maybe then I'll need a home
And I ask you to melt the ice in me (the ice in me)
So please be patient
For my love needs time to grow
It's not your season, don't you see?

Believe me, I'll never marry
Never, never marry in the summertime
Only free but seems so
Don't you cut my wings off
Honey, it's funny forget when it's sunny
So why get wed?
I'll never marry
Never, never marry in the summertime
Please believe you get me only if you let me fly
(let me fly, let me fly, let me fly)

The birds and the bees
They all fly free, don't you see?
So why don't we just kiss each other?
The hay smells so sweet
The sun gets warm, the grass is green
There's so much time for you and me

Oh darling, I'll never marry
Never, never marry in the summertime
Only free but seems so
Don't you cut my wings off
Honey, it's funny forget when it's sunny
So why get wed?
I'll never marry
Never, never marry in the summertime
Please believe you get me only if you let me fly
(let me fly, let me fly, let me fly,
let me fly, let me fly, let me fly-y-y)
