The Baseballs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I try to resist her, but the pain is my desire
'Cause she can rock it, roll it, take your heart and control it
She got me hot like a fever and the flame keeps getting higher
Oh, I'm on fire
Well I said, oh, I'm fire
Oops, she gonna turn ya (mo hotta mo betta)
Once you take a sip from the devil's cup
She's gonna rock you an'a roll you and then measure up
I say, oops she gonna burn ya, mo hotta mo betta
I say, oops she gonna learn ya, mo hotta mo betta
Mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo betta
Mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo betta
She's like a kiss from the devil but I just can't get enough
She got me moaning like a Lisa and the pain just sets me off
'Cause she can rock me, roll me, take my heart and control me
She got me hot like a fever, and it's all I'm dreaming of
Oh, I'm on fire
Well, I said, oh, I'm fire
Oops, she gonna burn ya (mo hotta mo betta)
Oops, she gonna turn ya (mo hotta mo betta)
Once you take a sip from the devil's cup
She's gonna rock you an'a roll you and then measure you up
I say, oops she gonna burn ya (mo hotta mo betta)
I say, oops she gonna learn ya (mo hotta mo betta)
Mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo betta
Mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo betta
Mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo betta
Mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo betta
Mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo betta
Mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo betta
Oops, she gonna burn ya (mo hotta mo betta)
Oops, she gonna turn ya (mo hotta mo betta)
Once you take a sip from the devil's cup
She's gonna rock you an'a roll you and then measure you up
I say, oops she gonna burn ya (mo hotta mo betta)
I say, oops she gonna learn ya (mo hotta mo betta)
Mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo betta
Mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo betta
Oops she gotta turn ya, oh mo hotta mo betta
Mmm, mo hotta mo betta
In this song, The Baseballs sing about a dangerous and tempting woman who is like a kiss from the devil. The singer describes how her kisses burn like fire and how he can taste her on his lips. He tries to resist her, but finds that the pain of wanting her is actually his desire. He compares her to a fever that keeps getting hotter, and sings that she can rock and roll, taking control of his heart. The chorus repeats the phrase “oops, she gonna burn ya, mo hotta mo betta” a warning that taking a sip from the devil’s cup will lead to being rocked and rolled, and measured up by this woman.
Overall, the song is about the irresistible pull of a seductress and how someone can get lost in her charms while knowing that she will ultimately bring them pain. The Baseballs use metaphors to describe her ability to heat things up and how her flames are something the singer can’t resist, even though he knows she will burn him. The song has a catchy beat and is meant to be fun and playful, even though it is a cautionary tale about being careful with temptation.

Oops, she gonna burn ya (mo hotta mo betta)
She's a dangerous woman to be involved with, and the more you get involved with her, the hotter and more intense it becomes
Once you take a sip from the devil's cup
Once you start getting involved with her, you're in too deep and it's too late to turn back
Mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo hotta mo betta
