At seventeen we fell in love

Highschool 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

Ot 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



Repeat



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, too hot, lady

Gotta cool this anger

Oh I've gotta cool this mess we've made

It's so hot, baby, yes it's so hot

I just can't take it

We were once lovers, we took our vows

Of man and wife, forever, oh

Baby please won't you listen

It hurt me so bad

Well I know I've got to leave
