At seventeen we fell in love
High school sweethearts
Love was so brand new
We took the vows of man and wife
Forever, for life

I remember how we made our way
A little patience, the time we prayed
Can't imagine that this love is through
Feeling the pain, girl, when you lose

Oh, it's too hot, too hot, lady
Gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade
It's too hot, too hot, lady
Gotta cool this anger, what a mess we made

So long ago
You were my love
Oh, my love

Flyin' high, we never took the time
To stop and feel the need
Funny how those years go by
Changing you, changing me

I remember love's fever in our hearts, girl
And in our minds
Can't imagine that this love is through
Feeling the pain, girl, when you lose

Oh, it's too hot, too hot, lady
Gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade
It's too hot, too hot, lady
Gotta cool this anger, what a mess we made

So long ago
You were my love
Feeling the pain

Oh, it's too hot, too hot, lady
Gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade
It's too hot, too hot, lady
Gotta cool this anger from this mess that we've made
