About This Track

'ANTISUMMERLUV' by Kehlani is a 2013 track that treats romance as something both unwanted and tempting, with the narrator insisting they do not need summertime love while still admitting a pull towards someone who feels “oh-so real”. The lyrics frame attraction as a kind of intrigue rather than a desire to chase a seasonal fling, and they reject the idea of adopting a fresh habit just to get what they want.

"ANTISUMMERLUV" is a track by Kehlani, released 1st August 2013. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 9 articles about Kehlani.

Lyrics

ANTISUMMERLUV

[Verse 1]

I don’t need no summertime love

I’m not looking for someone to pass the season

I don’t need just anyone

But you intrigue me for some reason

You seem oh-so real

And I don’t want to taste if I can't have it

I could show you how I feel

But I don’t need to pick up a new habit

[Hook]

After June on through July

Then you go back to wherever you came from

Don’t want to wipe no tears from my eyes

I mean why, when I could just save them?

Cause I swear that I am anti summer love

[Verse 2]

After the summer everything just gets weird (so weird)

We’ll grow apart and begin to stop talking

I'll never forget those nights at the pier

Oh the first time our lips got to locking

And I don’t want a love

That is only temporary

I can love with all my heart

But I can’t let it get that heavy

[Hook]

After June on through July

Then you go back to wherever you came from

Don’t want to wipe no tears from my eyes

I mean why, when I could just save them?

Cause I swear that I am anti summer love
