| 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 |
| We gotta cool this anger |
| What a mess we made |
| So long ago you were my love |
| Oh 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… |
