Hot N Cold
The Chipettes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah, you always stress
Like a chick I would know

And you over think
Always speak
Critically

I should know
That you're no good for me

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(You) You don't really want to stay, no
(But you) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down

We used to be
Just like twins
So in sync
The same energy
Now's a dead battery
Used to laugh bout nothing
Now your plain boring

I should know that
That you're not gonna change

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(You) You don't really want to stay, no
(But you) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bi-polar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get off this ride

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(You) You don't really want to stay, no
(You) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down, down
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down, down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(You) You don't really want to stay, no
(You) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down, down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Chipettes' song "Hot N Cold" describe the ups and downs of a relationship with someone who constantly changes their mind and actions. The person in question "changes their mind like a girl changes clothes" and is "hot then cold," "yes then no," "in then out," and "up then down." Despite the constant changes, the singer can't seem to let go of the relationship, even though they know they're "no good for me."


The lyrics also reference how the relationship used to be in sync like "twins," but now it's like a "dead battery" and "plain boring" as the person in question can't seem to make up their mind. The chorus repeats the same cycle of change and indecision, and the bridge compares the situation to being stuck on a "roller coaster" of love that the singer can't seem to get off.


Overall, the lyrics of "Hot N Cold" capture the frustration and confusion of being in a relationship with someone who can't make up their mind, and the difficulty of walking away even when you know it's not healthy.
