I look at my watch to find out
The right time of day
I look at her libido
Hey, hey, hey
I’m gonna get off and come home
And roll her on the hay
Making her sweat, temperature rise
All through the day
Man, it’s getting hot, hot, hot
I said, man, it’s getting hot, hot, hot
It’s getting hotter
And hotter
Man, it’s getting hot, hot
Gettin’ hot around here
It’s a meltdown
It’s a meltdown
I got a feelin’ in my bones
I’ve been racking my brains out
All night long
Stokin’ up the fire
Take it right up to the wire
Burning on and on
Burning on
Man it’s getting hot hot hot
I said man it’s getting hot hot hot
It’s getting hotter and hotter
Man it’s getting hot hot
Getting hot around here
It’s a meltdown
It’s a meltdown
It’s a meltdown
It’s a meltdown
Meltdown
Man it’s getting hot hot hot
I said man it’s getting hot hot hot
It’s getting hotter and hotter
And hotter and hotter
It’s a meltdown, it’s a meltdown
It’s a meltdown, it’s a meltdown
It’s a meltdown, it’s a meltdown
I said down down
It’s a meltdown, meltdown, meltdown
It’s a meltdown, it’s a meltdown
