Alone in the dark, runnin' those streets
Weather so hot, you can taste the heat
Feels like one of those nights
that's gonna be one of those nights
Hey, I saw a little flicker like a flash in the sky
Got my heart beatin' quicker, my little firefly

Don't need the birds and I don't need the bees
When I saw her, I went weak in the knees
Chasin' her tail on a hot summer night
She's my little firefly and I've seen the light

Hear that thunder comin' from above
But there ain't no light without my lightnin' bug
Oh, she took my hand and the summer came alive
Everything worth knowin' I learned from my little firefly

Don't need the birds and I don't need the bees
When I saw her, I went weak in the knees
Chasin' her tail on a hot summer night
She's my little firefly and I've seen the light

I ain't that smart, but I ain't no fool
I asked her, "Do ya? ", and she said, "I do"
Now that first summer, it's lasting our whole lives
And it ain't worth livin' without my, my little firefly

Don't need the birds and I don't need the bees
When I saw her, I went weak in the knees
Chasin' her tail on a hot summer night
She's my little firefly and I've seen the light
