At seventeen we fell in love
High school sweethearts
Love was so brand new
We took the vows of man and wife, forever, for life

I remember how we made our way
A little patience, the times we prayed
Can't imagine that this love is through
Feeling the pain, girl, when you lose

Oh, it's too hot, too hot, lady
Gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade
It's too hot, too hot, lady
Gotta cool this anger, what a mess we made
So long ago, you were my love, oh my love

Flyin' high we never took the time
To stop and feel the need
Funny how those years go by
Changing you, changing me

I remember love's fever
In our hearts, girl, and in our minds
Can't imagine that this love is through
Feeling the pain, girl, when you lose

Oh, it's too hot, too hot, lady
Gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade
It's too hot, too hot, lady
Gotta cool this anger, what a mess we made
So long ago, you were my love, feeling the pain

Oh, it's too hot, too hot, lady
Gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade
It's too hot, too hot, lady
Gotta cool this anger, from this mess that we made

Oh, it's too hot, too hot, lady
Gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade
It's too hot, so, so hot, lady
Gotta cool this anger, oh, I've gotta cool this mess we made

It's so, so hot, baby, yes, it's so hot
I just can't take it, I can't stand no more, baby
We were once lovers, we took our vows
For man and wife forever

Oh baby, please won't you listen?
It hurt me so bad, but I know I've got to leave

It's too hot
Gotta run for shelter,baby, I gotta run for shade
It's too hot, it's so, so hot, lady
Gotta cool this anger, gotta cool this mess we made

It's so warm, so warm, it's hot baby, yeah
Gotta run for shade, go home, my baby
