Lyrics

[Intro]
I'ma make it hot like fire
We gon' make it hot like fire
We gon' make it hot like fire (Baby girl, what?)
[Verse 1]
You're hotter than a summer day in California
You got me meltin' like a sundae, I want ya
I know you've been waitin'
You've been waitin' a long time for me
I've been waitin', I've been waitin', I've been waitin', what?
But if you wait a little while longer, this is how it'll be
Oh, it's gonna be
[Chorus]
Hot like fire (I'm gonna take you)
Take you higher (No, you won't)
You can't resist (When me and you)
Kiss, kiss, and kiss, and kiss, and kiss
[Verse 2]
You shouldn't rush it, take our time
Uh-huh, uh-huh
I'll let you know when I'm ready, if that's alright
That's alright
Said, I won't keep you, I won't keep you, I won't keep you holdin' on
Holdin' on, holdin' on
But if you wait on me, I promise you, it won't be long
Say what? Say what?
Oh, it's gonna be
[Chorus]
Hot like fire (I'm gonna take you)
Take you higher (Higher, you won't)
You can't resist (Oh no, when me and you)
Kiss, kiss, and kiss, and kiss, and kiss (I'm gonna make it)
[Chorus]
Hot like fire (And I will take you, baby)
Take you higher (No, you won't resist, oh, no, no, no)
You can't resist (When me and you)
Kiss, kiss, and kiss, and kiss, and kiss
[Bridge]
We gon' make it hot like fire
We gon' make it hot like fire, baby
We gon' make it hot, ho-hot, hot, hot
We gon' make it hot like fire, fire, fire, uh-huh
[Chorus]
Hot like fire
Like fire, baby, like fire, what?
Take you higher
Take me higher, uh, uh-huh
You can't resist
I can't resist, check it, check it out, uh
Kiss, kiss, and kiss, and kiss, and kiss
And kiss, and kiss
[Chorus]
Hot like fire
Say hot, baby, uh-huh
Take you higher
Like that, like that, uh-huh
You can't resist
What? Uh-huh
Kiss, kiss, and kiss, and kiss, and kiss
[Outro]
Hot like fire
I'ma make it hot like fire
I'ma make it hot like fire
I'ma make it hot like fire
I'ma make it hot like fire
I'ma make it hot like fire
I'ma make it hot like fire
Kiss, and kiss, and kiss
Break it down, uh
[Outro]
Hot like fire
I'ma make it hot like fire
I'ma make it hot like fire
I'ma make it hot like fire
I'ma make it hot like fire
I'ma make it hot like fire
I'ma make it hot like fire
Kiss, and kiss, and kiss
