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 time we pray

Can't imagine that this love is through
Feelin' 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
We 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
Feelin' 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 that we've 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've made

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 gotta cool this mess we've 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
Of man and wife, forever, woah
Baby, please won't you listen
It hurt me so bad, well I know I've got to leave
It's too hot, gotta run for shelter babe, gotta run for shade
It's too hot, it's so so hot baby
Gotta cool this anger, gotta cool this mess we've made
It's so warm, so warm, it's hot baby, yeah
