[Intro]
Knock me out
Girl, you know you knock me out
(Yeah, you're lookin' feel good with your dukes on, baby)
Girl, you know you knock me out
Girl, you know you knock me out (kick it)

[Chorus]
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(Summer bunnies drive me crazy, huh, summer nights)
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(And I really love the way you knock me out)
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(Oh, girl, you drive me crazy, come on)
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(Summer bunnies drive me crazy)
And you knock me out, girl, come on

[Verse 1]
1, 2, 3, 4 it's time for me to jet
Where ya going off to? The beach, that's a bet (hey!)
It's summertime so it's time to get some of these
Some of those and I won't call whores
'Cause in the 90's you gotta respect the ladies
So step up to 'em and say, we love you sweet Sadie, uh
That's how you get your true mack on but
Brothers be stepping up, popping that sad song
Hey don't I know you from somewhere?
Can we go somewhere to be alone?
I pull up in the lot, pop the trunks, make their heads bob
And it's sunny so it's time to get a summer bunny, yeah

[Chorus]
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(Oh, baby, you know you drive me crazy)
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(Yeah, yeah, girl, you got it going on)
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(Summer bunnies driving me)
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(I really love the way you're driving me)

[Verse 2]
Uh, it's five o'clock and my voice code is 22
So beep, beep, beep, it's time for me to make a move
I'm on my way to his picnic
(Ayo R, we got time, it don't start 'til 2)
Yeah, but I wanna be early, fool
So I can catch the new bunnies coming in just like the old school
Strolling the block so I can check the scenery
The sun plays, the day is feeling good to me, huh
I can just smell the funky beats
You know the flavor "In Between the Sheets"
I saw my boy Big Al, I said, "Just keep it straight"
He said, "I know I got a novelty to validate"
So who's the bunny looking sweet like a honeycomb?
He say, "No my brother, you gots to get your own summer bunny, yeah

[Chorus]
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(Oh, summer bunnies, oh, drive me crazy)
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(Girl, you know you knock me out)
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(Said I'll admit it later)
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(I really love the way you're driving me)

[Verse 3]
This party is packed tops, word to the mother
I love it when there's three bunnies to one brother
And wine coolers is what I'm packing, yeah
And when I get my buzz on is when I start bunny-jacking
Jacking fools for their bunnies
'Cause I'm the K, the E, the double L, the Y, they wanna get with me
And the PAs in the house (huh, what up?)
So check, check, check it out
My stomach is growling so it's time to get my hungry on
Some soul food, Kool-Aid and you know it's on
Then after that I hate to eat and run but I'm outtie, my homie
Tamieka invited us to a block party
So we roll up and all I saw was thighs and daisy dukes
The fellas yelling summer bunnies, yeah

[Chorus]
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(Oh, summer bunnies drive me crazy)
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(Hey, hey, and you know, you know you knock me out)
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(Hey, hey, girl, you know me out)
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(I really love the way you knock me out)

[Bridge]
Let's break it down
You're looking feel good with your dukes on, baby (baby)
You're looking feel good with your dukes on, baby (ooh)
Yeah, yeah
You're looking feel good with your dukes on, baby (oh baby)
(Ayo Dre) ayo what up? (Check it out)
Girl, you know you knock me out
Girl, you know you knock me out
Girl, you know you knock me out
Girl, you know you knock me out, oh yeah
Girl, you know you knock me out
Girl, you know you knock me out
Girl, you know you knock me out
Girl, you know you knock me out

[Chorus]
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(Summer bunnies)
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(Driving me crazy, oh yeah)
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(Oh, woah)
Summer bunnies drive me crazy
(I really love the way you knock me out)

R. Kelly

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
