Lyrics

It's just too hot

It gets too hot, baby

It's just too hot

It gets too hot, baby

At 17 we fell in love (yeah)

High school sweethearts (yeah)

Love was so brand new

Took the vows of man and wife

Forever, for life (yeah)

I remember how we made our way (made our way)

A little patience, the time we pray (time we pray)

Can't imagine that this love is through (this love is through)

Feelin' the pain, girl, when you lose

Oh, it's too hot (too hot), too hot, baby (too hot, baby)

Gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade

It's too hot (too hot), too hot, lady (too hot, baby)

Gotta cool this anger for the mess that we made

It's hard to express myself, so I'ma put this in a verse

And in this whirlwind of emotions, there ain't nothing worse

Than loving somebody and hating them at the same time

And even after all the bull, they coming with the same line

You better be on your guard, yo, get this ish right

No, we ain't givin' em for nothin', and not just for one night

And this was going out to all my dimes, throw them up

And if y'all feeling free lyrically, then we keep them up

Flyin' high, we never took the time

To stop and feel the need

Funny how those years go by

Changing you, changing me, oh-oh

It's too hot (too hot), too hot, baby (too hot, baby)

Gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade

It's too hot (too hot), too hot, baby (too hot, baby)

Gotta cool this anger for the mess that we made

I used to be the biggest player in town, at least I thought I was

All I knew was how to get around, and the thought of love

Kept me from never getting something steady

But just in case if it ever took place, I had something ready

You know the type ain't good, ma, right in the hood, huh?

You try to overlook, but know she the one

I know she the one, that show me the fun

Give me the good feelin' and know how I like it done

I feel myself falling, but then I'm still balling

I love her, but then again, I think I love 'em all and

I'm kinda mixed up in the six doin' the bub'

Trying to decide if I should give it up

And let go of my trickery world

Talkin' 'bout becomin' a one-girl man from here on out

I want to, honestly I do, but I know I'm not

'Cause temptation is just too hot, it's true

Oh, our love is too hot

Much too hot, baby

I'll never forget you, baby (oh, our love is too hot)

I'll never forget you, baby (much too hot; I'll never forget you)

Sorry it didn't work out (oh, our love is too hot)

Sorry it didn't work out (much too hot, baby)

See, we took our vows of man and wife (oh, our love is too hot)

Said we'd be together for the rest of our lives

It's just too hot

It gets too hot, baby

It gets too hot

It's just too hot, baby
