Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah (Body heat, yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
When your body gets down from aggravation (Body heat)
And you need some love from fascination
What's that? (Body heat)
What's that? (Body heat)
[Verse 2]
When your body won't do what you want it to
And you don't do it 'cause you know you're through
What's that? (Body heat)
What's that? (Body heat)
[Verse 3]
When you can't get your body pleased
And you need some love for your tension ease
What's that? (Body heat)
What's that? (Body heat)
[Verse 4]
Ah, payback
[Verse 5]
Gonna go to church, y'all
Gonna go to church, y'all
Gonna go to church, y'all
Gonna go to church, y'all
[Verse 6]
And you got to turn off the heat (Body heat), take off that pressure
(Body heat) Turn off the heat, take off that pressure
(Body heat) Turn off the heat, take off that pressure
(Body heat) Turn off the heat, take off that pressure
[Verse 7]
Gimme some air, I can't go nowhere
Gonna go to church, y'all (Yeah)
I'm having bad luck
I'm having bad luck
I'm having bad luck, ah

Got to release the body
I'm having bad luck, I'm having bad luck
Got to release the body
Gonna go to church, y'all
Gonna go to church, y'all
Gonna go to church, y'all
Take me
[Verse 9]

My mother told me, I'd be a loving son of a gun
When I was a little boy about the age of two
Catch myself was something I had to do
[Verse 10]

Cut off the heat, yeah, take off that pressure

Gimme some air, I can't go nowhere
[Verse 13]
(Body heat) Gimme some air, I can't go nowhere
I'm having bad luck (Body heat), I'm having bad luck

Heat the body, I'm having bad luck
Cut off the heat, gonna get the pressure
Yeah, good lovin'

When your body gets down from aggravation
And you need some love from fascination
What's that? (Body heat)
What's that? (Body heat)

Your body break out, pimples, in a sweat

When I was a little boy about the age of five

When I was a little boy about the age of six
I felt down, I wanted to get my kicks
I was a little boy about the age of seven (Body heat, body, body heat)
