DeVaughn's musical story began with his mother's vinyl collection. "I always loved music so I would sneak into her record collection when she wasn't around and play her stuff." DeVaughn's father, noted jazz musician Abdul Wadud was also an influence. DeVaughn knew at an early age that he would become an entertainer.
DeVaughn graduated from High Point High School in Beltsville, Maryland; then headed to nearby Coppin State. It was the first day of college that changed the course of his life. "I saw a group of guys standing outside singing, Boyz II Men style," remembers DeVaughn. "I just went up there and started harmonizing with them. Before I knew what was going on, I was in a group, cutting class to write lyrics and record." After winning $2,000.00 in a talent show at Bar None, a Washington D.C. nightclub, DeVaughn decided to go for broke and invested all of his winnings into a CD burner. Several independent releases led to a showcase with Jive Records, and the career was on it's way.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lay your body down, to the love king
Sshh, hush, don't say a word
This feel like 90's R&B shit
Can you feel it like 90's R&B
Can you feel it like 90's R&B
Can you feel it like 90's R&B
My body's like a heatwave (heatwave)
My body's like the 4th of July
My body's like a sauna baby (sauna baby)
Like a fever hundred and five
Whistling hot like a kettle baby (hot)
Oooh like summer time in Georgia
Hot cocoa in the winter
From your mouth down to your centre
I don't wanna speak in tongues ooh (wow)
You got that baby makin'
Earth shaking, jaw breaking
No AC with the windows down type of love, you got
Temperature's rising (oh yeah)
And my body's yearning (oh yeah), for you
(My body's yearning for you baby)
For you
Temperature's rising
And your body's yearning for me
(Your body's yearning for me too)
For me too
We gon' need a bucket of some ice cubes baby
We gon' need a cieling fan and a cool rag
We gon' need a moment for some recuperation
To show gratitude to the best I ever had
'Cause baby you hot just like the wax off a candle
Baby I'm hot like a match with the flame
Baby your hot like the pipes on an engine
Baby I'm hot like a pistol at the range, baby
I'm so hot, I'm about to blow
'Cause you're sweet like sugar with ancient in Rome
With no AC, with the windows down
And a heatwave in the summer time
You, you got my
Temperature's rising
