Too Hot To Sleep Lyrics

Sweat rollin' down my hands and face 
Big fan on the screen porch turnin' 
Cat looking for a hidin' place 
Sun sinkin' but the fire's still burnin' 
Music playing a few doors down 
I'm drawn to the sound 
It's just too hot to sleep (too hot) 
I walk restless to the street cafe 
See what's shakin’ in the tropic zone 
A cold Corona and a twist of lime 
Cools me down when I'm alone 
Movin' closer from across the room 
I've seen her before and she looks so fine 
Never wanted any woman more 
I look at the door and she reads my mind 

Too hot to sleep (too hot to sleep), give up the fight 
Throw back the sheets, shoot out the lights 
Too hot to sleep (too hot to sleep), come take me higher 
Caught up in the heat of the moment's fire 

Still burnin' in the afterglow 
Sun peekin' through mirrored glasses 
A little groggy from the night before 
Feelin' wired as the day advances 
Can't seem to keep my mind off you 
It's just no use, it's blind desire 
I wanna know that I can count on you 
To throw a little gasoline on the fire 

Too hot to sleep (too hot to sleep), give up the fight 
Throw back the sheets, shoot out the lights 
Too hot to sleep (too hot to sleep), come take me higher 
Caught up in the heat of the moment's fire 

In the still of the night, oh, I toss and I turn 
Come shed the heat on the night as it burns 

Too hot to sleep (too hot to sleep), give up the fight 
Throw back the sheets, shoot out the lights 
Too hot to sleep (too hot to sleep), come take me higher 
Caught up in the heat of the moment's fire 
Too hot to sleep (too hot to sleep), come take me higher 
Caught up in the heat of the moment's fire
