Hot Blooded
The Foreigner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I'm hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded

You don't have to read my mind, to know what I have in mind
Honey you oughta know
Now you move so fine, let me lay it on the line
I wanna know what you're doin' after the show

Now it's up to you, we can make a secret rendezvous
Just me and you, I'll show you lovin' like you never knew

That's why, I'm hot blooded, check it and see
I feel a fever burning inside me
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded (I'm hot)

Now it's up to you, can we make a secret rendezvous? oh
Before we do, you have to get away from you know who

Well, I'm hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded

Hot blooded, I'm a little bit high
Hot blooded, you're a little bit shy




Hot blooded, you're making me sing
Hot blooded, for your sweet sweet thing
