Put Me In The Mode
Max Romeo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say I'm cold
You'd better come warm me girl
You say I'm cold
You'd better come warm me girl

Put me in the mood
And make me feel so rude
I beg you simmer down
I beg you simmer down

I can't stand the vibration
I'm gettin' too hot
You'd better come cool me down
I'm gettin' too hot
You'd better come cool me down

You put me in the mood
And make me feel so rude
You'd better simmer down
You'd better simmer down

I can't stand this vibration
Jah
You're cold, I check you out
Jah

Now I'm getting too hot
You'd better cool me down
Said, I'm getting too hot
You'd better cool me down

You put me in the mood
And make me feel so rude
You'd better simmer down
I beg you simmer down

I can't stand you're vibration




Jah
Well, don't know
