Sweat rollin' down my hands and face

Big fan on the screen porch turnin'

Cat looking for a hidin' place

Sun sinkin' but the fire's still burnin'

Music playing a few doors down

I'm drawn to the sound

It's just too hot to sleep (too hot)

I walk restless to the street cafe

See what's shakin’ in the tropic zone

A cold Corona and a twist of lime

Cools me down when I'm alone

Movin' closer from across the room

I've seen her before and she looks so fine

Never wanted any woman more

I look at the door and she reads my mind



Too hot to sleep (too hot to sleep), give up the fight

Throw back the sheets, shoot out the lights

Too hot to sleep (too hot to sleep), come take me higher

Caught up in the heat of the moment's fire



Still burnin' in the afterglow

Sun peekin' through mirrored glasses

A little groggy from the night before

Feelin' wired as the day advances

Can't seem to keep my mind off you

It's just no use, it's blind desire

I wanna know that I can count on you

To throw a little gasoline on the fire



Too hot to sleep (too hot to sleep), give up the fight

Throw back the sheets, shoot out the lights

Too hot to sleep (too hot to sleep), come take me higher

Caught up in the heat of the moment's fire



In the still of the night, oh, I toss and I turn

Come shed the heat on the night as it burns



Too hot to sleep (too hot to sleep), give up the fight

Throw back the sheets, shoot out the lights

Too hot to sleep (too hot to sleep), come take me higher

Caught up in the heat of the moment's fire

Too hot to sleep (too hot to sleep), come take me higher

Caught up in the heat of the moment's fire
