[Verse 1]
You're too hot to handle, I'm turning you loose
Like a hot potato, I know it's no use
I wooed you, baby, 'til you spent my dough
You're too hot to handle, I know

[Chorus]
You're too hot to handle, you're too cold to love
Too money-hungry to be my turtledove
I'm just a country boy and it's plain to see
You're too hot to handle for me

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
When I drink White Lightning, you want champagne
I ain't got the money and then you complain
While I'm wearing blue jeans, you're wearing mink
You're too hot to handle, I think

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
You walk down the sidewalk, you think you're so hot
You think you got something that poor girls haven't got
I don't mind high-hog eating if I ain't the hog
Don't mind some dogging if I ain't the dog
[Chorus]
You're too hot to handle, you're too cold to love
Too money-hungry to be my turtledove
'cause I'm just a country boy and it's plain to see
You're too hot to handle for me
