Hot stuff
Krokus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ve been travelling down the road
With my friends all across the nation
And I met a lot of girls
Help me live my fantasies

Down in New Orleans
I found the right combination
She made me feel like a king

Boy she was so good to me

I felt her eyes follow me across the stage
Touch my body with a tiger’s gage
I slipped into her dream
Didn’t even say goodnight
In the morning she just told me
In a letter

Hot stuff
I got love to suit you babe
Hot stuff
Guaranteed to make you temperature rise
Hot stuff
I don’t want to lose you babe
How I hate to have to say goodbye

Back on the road
Another show, hot stage, new city
Love connection
Slowly fading away

I felt her eyes follow me across the stage
Touch my body with a tiger’s gage
I slipped into her dream
Didn’t even say goodnight
In the morning she just told me
In a letter

Hot stuff
I got love to suit you babe
Hot stuff
Guaranteed to make you temperature rise
Hot stuff
I don’t want to lose you babe
How I hate to have to say goodbye

Hot stuff
I got love to suit you babe
Hot stuff
Guaranteed to make you temperature rise
Hot stuff

I don’t want to lose you babe
How I hate to have to say goodbye

I’ve been travelling down the road
I have been journeying to different places

With my friends all across the nation
Accompanied by my companions all over the country

And I met a lot of girls
Encountered several women

Help me live my fantasies
Assisted me in fulfilling my dreams

Down in New Orleans
At a particular location in New Orleans

I found the right combination
I discovered the ideal match

She made me feel like a king
She treated me like royalty

Boy she was so good to me
She was exceptionally kind to me

I felt her eyes follow me across the stage
I noticed her gaze following me while I performed on stage

Touch my body with a tiger’s gage
Caressed me like a wild animal

I slipped into her dream
I became part of her desires
