Bakin' in the sun, enjoyin' the summer fun
Me and my baby lyin' by the sea
She said: it's been a year since she's been with someone else
I said: it's funny! she should put it to me that way
All at once, it came to me...

That girl is slippin', driftin' in the night
She's got me talkin' to myself
Hopeless, love mess, slippin', driftin'

Now listen!
Surprised her at the pool (one day)
When I really made a fool (of myself)
I could feel it
She didn't want me around
All the way home, I could see her in my mind
Talkin' to this guy, talkin' to that guy
Lonely, I'm so lonely

My girl is slippin', driftin' in the night
She's got me talkin' to myself
Hopeless, love mess, slippin', driftin'
That girl is slippin', driftin' in the night
She's got me talkin' to myself
Hopeless, love mess, slippin', driftin'

Love has no reason in my heart if I don't have her
Look over my shoulder something got lost along the way
All that I'd do for your love,
Don't mean a thing (don't mean a thing)
Don't mean a thing (don't mean a thing)

That girl is slippin', driftin' in the night
She's got me talkin' to myself
Hopeless, love mess, slippin', driftin'
That girl is slippin', driftin' in the night
She's got me talkin' to myself
Hopeless, love mess, slippin', driftin'
