The Baseballs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
2, 3, 4!
You're hot, you're cold
You (you) change your mind (your mind)
Like a girl (a girl) changes clothes (sheewab sheewah)
Yeah you (you), PMS (MS)
And you (you) over think (always)
Always speak (always) cryptically (sheewab sheewah)
I should know (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 don't really wanna stay
But you don't really wanna go
'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
We used to be
Just like twins, so in sync
The same energy
Now's a dead battery
Used to laugh (to laugh) 'bout nothing (nothing)
Now you're plain (plain) boring (sheewab sheewah)
I should know (know)
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 don't really wanna stay
But you don't really wanna go
'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 hot (uh), you're cold (then you're hot)
You're hot (you're hot), you're cold (you're hot)
You're hot (so cold), you're cold (so cold)
You're hot (yeah), you're cold
Wooh, woooh, yeah, alright
Come on, haha, wooh, yeah come on
Someone call the doctor
Got a case of love bipolar
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 don't really wanna stay
But you don't really wanna go
'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 hot, you're cold
You're hot, you're cold
You're hot, you're cold
You're hot, yeah
The lyrics of The Baseballs’ song Hot’n Cold express the difficulties of being in a relationship with a person who is inconsistent in their feelings and actions. The lyrics use contrasting words such as “hot” and “cold”, “yes” and “no”, and “in” and “out” to emphasize the fickle nature of the other person. The song describes the frustration and confusion that can arise from being with someone who constantly changes their mind and emotions, creating a roller coaster of emotions for the singer. The chorus repeats these contradictions, highlighting the back-and-forth dynamic of the relationship.
The bridge of the song introduces the idea of love bipolar, indicating that the other person may suffer from a mental illness that affects their mood and behavior. However, the song does not provide a resolution or solution to the problem, leaving the singer stuck in this tumultuous situation.
Overall, the lyrics of Hot’n Cold address the difficulties of navigating a relationship with someone who is unpredictable and inconsistent, expressing the frustration and confusion that comes with being with someone who changes their mind and emotions frequently.
