She Was Hot
The Rolling Stones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

New York was cold and damp
TV is just a blank
Looks like another dead end Sunday

What about an early night
Monday never feels so bright
Ooh the sheets feel cold and lonely
Who wants to brave the pouring rain
For a glass of French champagne?
Well grab a cab, grab a cap and baby, come right by

And she was hot, as she kissed my mouth
She was hot, as I wiped her brow
She was hot, she pinned me to the ground
She was quick, she knew her way around
She was hot, as she tore my clothes
She was hot, she had no place to go
She was hot, on a cold and rainy night

Detroit was smoky grey
Nothing like the good old days
Well I got a fever that I'm fighting

I don't need your company
Leave me in my misery
I can take the rebound just like lightning

And she was hot, in a 50's dress
She was hot, her lips were flashing red
I was lost, in her burning flesh
I was hot, I was dripping sweat
She was hot, in the Detroit snow
She was hot, she had no place to go
She was hot, on a cold and rainy night

And she was hot, and I had the blues
She was hot, honey, where were you?
If you were in my shoes
You would be excused

She was hot, you could never wait
She was hot, never hesitate
She was hot, on a cold and rainy night

I think I'm going off the rails
Riding down the pleasure trails
I was taking passion where you find it

Honey when you're young and fresh
And you need the touch of flesh
Go take the treasure where you find it

And she was hot, in the melted snow
She was hot, in the molten glow
She was hot, she got it in the blood
She was hot, like the dam that bursts
She was strong, she was strong and true
She was black, and her eyes were blue
She was lost, and she took a chance
At just a brief romance

Down the avenue into the lost bayou
Into the tall bamboo, back to the human zoo
I wish you all the best, I hope we meet again
In a cold Chicago night

She was hot
She was hot
She was hot hot hot
She was hot hot hot
She was hot hot hot
She was hot hot hot
She was hot hot hot
She was hot hot hot




She was hot hot hot
She was hot hot hot

Overall Meaning

The Rolling Stones' "She Was Hot" is a song that captures the essence of youthful passion. The verses depict melancholic moments when the rain pours, the TV is blank, and the sheets feel cold and lonely. But the singer's life takes an exciting turn with the entry of a beautiful and irresistible woman. She is described as "hot" and "quick" and knows her way around as she tears off his clothes and pins him down. The song shifts in and out of different settings – from New York's cold and damp streets to Detroit's smoky grey streets – but the theme of youthful passion remains constant. The song's lyrics portray romantic obsession and the thrill of sudden attraction.


The chorus repeats the phrase "She was hot" four times, accompanied by the refrain, "On a cold and rainy night." The band's instrumentation is perfectly suited to the song's aesthetics. The guitars sound sharp and biting, while the drums create a frenzied, insistent rhythm.


"She Was Hot" was included on The Rolling Stones' 1983 album, "Undercover." The album was released during a tumultuous time for the Rolling Stones, with the band facing conflict within itself and with its record label. Despite these challenges, "Undercover" was a commercial success and topped the charts in the US and the UK.


Line by Line Meaning

New York was cold and damp
The weather was miserably wet and chilly in New York City


TV is just a blank
Watching the TV felt boring and uninteresting


Looks like another dead end Sunday
It seemed like another dull and uneventful day


What about an early night
What if we went to bed early and didn't stay up late?


Monday never feels so bright
The start of the new week always seems bleak and gloomy


Ooh the sheets feel cold and lonely
The bed sheets feel chilly and empty without anyone there


Who wants to brave the pouring rain
Who really wants to walk outside in the heavy rain?


For a glass of French champagne?
Is it worth it just to have a drink of fancy champagne?


Well grab a cab, grab a cap and baby, come right by
Get a taxi, put on a hat, and come over to my place right now


And she was hot, as she kissed my mouth
She was passionate and attractive as she kissed me deeply


She was hot, as I wiped her brow
She was sexy and sweaty as I wiped her forehead


She was hot, she pinned me to the ground
She was fierce and overpowering as she held me down


She was quick, she knew her way around
She was fast and skilled at what she was doing


She was hot, as she tore my clothes
She was attractive and wild as she ripped off my clothing


She was hot, she had no place to go
She was desirable and restless, with nowhere else to be


She was hot, on a cold and rainy night
She was sexy and alluring on a dreary and damp evening


Detroit was smoky grey
The city of Detroit was full of pollution and haze


Nothing like the good old days
The present time is nothing compared to how good things used to be


Well I got a fever that I'm fighting
I'm struggling with an intense and persistent illness


I don't need your company
I don't want to be with anyone else


Leave me in my misery
Let me stay in my unhappy state


I can take the rebound just like lightning
I can recover quickly, just like a bolt of lightning


She was hot, in a 50's dress
She was stunning in a vintage 1950s-style dress


She was hot, her lips were flashing red
She was sexy with her bright, red lips


I was lost, in her burning flesh
I was entranced by her passionate and alluring body


I was hot, I was dripping sweat
I was extremely aroused and sweating from the intensity of the moment


She was hot, in the Detroit snow
She was fiery and irresistible even in the cold snow of Detroit


She was hot, she had no place to go
She was desirable and aimless, with no other destination


She was hot, on a cold and rainy night
She was sexy and captivating on a dark and damp evening


And she was hot, and I had the blues
She was desirable while I felt sad and low


She was hot, honey, where were you?
She was attractive, and I wanted to know where you were


If you were in my shoes
If you were experiencing what I'm going through


You would be excused
You would be forgiven for reacting the way I am


She was hot, you could never wait
She was irresistible, and you'd never want to wait to be with her


She was hot, never hesitate
She was so sexy, it was impossible to hesitate being with her


She was strong, she was strong and true
She was fierce and unwavering in her strength


She was black, and her eyes were blue
She had beautiful contrasting features of black skin and blue eyes


She was lost, and she took a chance
She was aimless and seized the opportunity for a fleeting romance


At just a brief romance
Even though it was fleeting, our romance was intense and passionate


Into the tall bamboo, back to the human zoo
Returning to the busy city, it felt like going back to society's chaos


I wish you all the best, I hope we meet again
I hope you have a great future, and perhaps we'll cross paths once more


In a cold Chicago night
In the freezing night air of Chicago


She was hot hot hot
She was incredibly sexy and desirable


She was hot hot hot
She was breathtakingly attractive


She was hot hot hot
She was undeniably sexy and alluring


She was hot hot hot
She was irresistibly attractive


She was hot hot hot
She was incredibly alluring and desirable


She was hot hot hot
She was too hot to handle


She was hot hot hot
She was on fire with passion and desirability


She was hot hot hot
She was the epitome of sexiness and desirability


She was hot hot hot
She was absolutely smoking with passion and seductiveness

Nueva York era frío y húmedo
TV es un espacio en blanco
Se parece a otro callejón sin salida Domingo

¿Qué pasa con la cama temprano
Lunes nunca se siente tan brillante
Ooh las hojas de sentir frío y solitario

¿Quién quiere a valientes de la lluvia
Para una copa de champán francés?
Bien tomar un taxi, tomar una tapa y un bebé, por venir a la derecha

Y ella era caliente - como ella me besó en la boca
Ella era caliente - como se limpió la frente
Ella era caliente - ella me inmovilizaron en el suelo
Ella se apresuró - sabía que su camino alrededor de
Ella era caliente - como ella me arrancó la ropa
Ella era caliente - ella no tenía a donde ir
Ella era caliente - en una noche fría y lluviosa

Detroit era de color gris ahumado
Nada como los viejos tiempos
Bueno, tengo una fiebre que estoy luchando

Yo no necesito de su compañía
Déjame en mi miseria
Puedo tomar el rebote como un rayo

Y ella era caliente - en un vestido de los años 50
Ella era caliente - sus labios estaban parpadeando en rojo
Yo estaba perdido - en su f quemaLesh
Yo estaba caliente - que estaba goteando sudor
Ella era caliente - en la nieve Detroit
Ella era caliente - ella no tenía a donde ir
Ella era caliente - en una noche fría y lluviosa

Y ella era caliente - y yo tenía el blues
Ella era caliente - la miel, ¿dónde estabas?
Si usted estuviera en mi lugar
Usted se disculpó
Ella era caliente - nunca se puede esperar
Ella era caliente - no dude en
Ella era caliente - en una noche fría y lluviosa

Creo que me voy fuera de los carriles
Montar a caballo por los senderos placer
Yo estaba tomando la pasión en la que se encuentra

Miel cuando usted era joven y fresca
Y se necesita el contacto de su carne
Ir a tomar el tesoro en el que se encuentra

Y ella era caliente - en la nieve derretida
Ella era caliente - en el resplandor fundido
Ella era caliente - ella lo consiguió en la sangre
Ella era caliente - como la presa que estalla
Ella era negro - ella era fuerte y verdadero
Ella era negro - y sus ojos eran azules
Estaba perdida - y tomó la oportunidad
En justa breve romance de

Por la avenida en el pantano perdido
En el bambú alto, de vuelta al zoológico humano
Le deseo todo lo mejor, espero que nos volvamos a encontrar
En una fría noche de Chicago

Ella estaba caliente
Ella estaba caliente
Ella era mucho, mucho calor
Fue hot hot hot .........

RIP Anita Morris. She was an amazing singer, dancer and actress--killed it in "Nine"  (Call from the Vatican) on Broadway.

@scottyunitedboy2925

She was later cast in Absolute Beginners by Julian Temple who directed this promo

Who could forger her in 'Ruthless People' (circa 1986). Coincidentally, Mick Jagger sang the main theme of the movie.

@ComicBookSyndicate

One of their best singles. Mick harmonising with himself is good, and the arrangement becomes more unpredictable as the song goes on.

@manuelpe1979

It must been said that this song would have never been the same without these piano and organ accompaniments. This song is great. Long live RS.

@TheBob3759

Amen to that.
