C’mon don’t be shy
I know you feel this heat too
I see a glass half full when I look at you
with the sun in your eyes and your head held so high
I feel you under my skin
wake up smell the air
oh, I think summer’s begun
you can feel it getting hotter
things are looking up and you started this fire with the spark in your eyes I know you from long ago

butterfly
I call you butterfly
you call me every night
I know you from long ago dynamite
you feel like dynamite
you give me butterflies
I know you deep in my soul

I come and go as I want
no, I don’t make many plans but I keep you close for comfort my familiar friend
I know that spark in your eye almost as if it were mine
I know you from long ago

yeah, let’s ride this heatwave
go on, hang your head out the side
listen to my music
we both love joyrides
this is the summer, baby
the time and place maybe
for me and you let’s go until we run out of road

butterfly
I call you butterfly
you call me every night
I know you from long ago dynamite
you feel like dynamite
you give me butterflies
I know you deep in my soul

we’re from a small town
where the kids grow free
the boys grow tall and the girls grow mean
and I cannot hide it I love when you’re right here

right here with me
in our home
where the wild things roam
and the sun still shines on 60’s souls who draw silver lines on clouds
cuz they’ve got no gold

butterfly
I call you butterfly
you call me every night
I know you from long ago dynamite
you feel like dynamite
you give me butterflies
I know you deep in my soul
