Lyrics
I remember that hot summer night like it was yesterday
I remember a memorable summer night.
Never saw it coming
The speaker was unaware of a significant event.
The sweet smile in the crowd slowly turned and looked my way
A pleasant smile in the crowd caught the speaker's attention.
Girl, you were something!
The girl stood out and made an impression.
Never thought you would notice me, baby
The speaker didn't expect the girl to notice them.
Now look at us, we're a love gone crazy!
Despite initial doubts, the speaker and the girl developed an intense and passionate love.
Might've been the whiskey in the water
Various factors, like alcohol, contributed to the atmosphere.
Could've been your eyes in the neon glow
The girl's captivating eyes in the vibrant setting.
Might've been those lemon-drop kisses
Memorable kisses that were sweet and persuasive.
Dripping off the lips and begging me not to go
The kisses begged the speaker to stay.
Might've been the way you were swaying
The girl's alluring dance moves.
To every song they were playing
The girl's response to every song played.
Might've been the stars, could've been the moon
The romantic ambiance, symbolized by stars and the moon.
But I know it was you!
The speaker is certain the girl is the cause of the feelings.
I don't know what it was that made me ask 'cause I don't dance
The speaker, who doesn't usually dance, was prompted to ask the girl to dance.
What was I thinking?
The speaker questions their decision to dance.
Not sure what it was, got a buzz when you took my hand
The connection intensified when the girl took the speaker's hand.
My head started spinning
The speaker felt a rush of excitement and joy.
I've never fallen so fast or so hard
The speaker fell deeply and quickly for the girl.
I can't explain what happened to my heart!
The speaker struggles to explain the intense emotions.
Might've been the whiskey in the water
Similar to line 8, the influence of alcohol on the experience.
Could've been your eyes in the neon glow
The impact of the girl's eyes in the lively atmosphere.
Might've been those lemon-drop kisses

Dripping off the lips and begging me not to go
The kisses pleaded for the speaker to stay.

The girl's rhythmic dance moves to the music.
