Lyrics

Hot Like Fire

[Vocals: Romy & Oliver Sim together, (Oliver Sim), Romy] [Verse 1] (Hotter than a summer's 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 But if you wait a little while longer, this is how it'll be [Chorus] (It's gonna be) Hot like fire Take you higher You can't resist Kiss, kiss, and kiss and kiss and kiss and... kiss [Verse 2] You shouldn't have said "take our time" (I'll let you know when I'm ready, if that's all right) I won't keep you, I won't keep you, I won't keep ya holdin' on But if you wait on me, I promise, it won't be long [Chorus] I'm gonna take you... Hot like fire Take you higher You can't resist Kiss, kiss, and kiss and kiss and kiss and... kiss [Outro: Instrumental]
