Lyrics

Hot, Blue and Righteous

[Verse]

Hot, blue and righteous

An angel called me aside

Hot, blue and righteous

Said, "Stick by me and I'll be your guide"

I heard the words as I closed my eyes

Down on my, down on my bended knees

It fit like a glove and I realized

Something good's happening to me

[Instrumental Break 2:03-2:31]

[Outro]

Hot, blue and righteous

An angel called me aside

Ooh, ooh, ooh
