[Verse 1]
Watch out, funk's about
And it's gonna get you steamin'
'Cause it can smoke the building out
And make you feel like screamin'
And when the beat gets next to you
Your eyes will start to water
'Cause there ain't nothing, ain't nothing you can do
'Cause your breath keeps getting shorter and shorter

[Chorus]
But don't you let it get too hot (Too hot, too hot)
Too hot to handle (Too hot to handle, too hot, too hot)
Too much to stand, y'all (Too much, too much to stand, y'all, too hot, too hot)
Too hot to handle (Too hot)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
If the heat gets out of hand
There's sure to be a fire (Fire, fire)
'Cause you can't stop a blazing band
They'll only take you higher
You better step out of your shoes
'Cause the beat'll make you blister
And it can burn up, burn up all your fuse
Or blow out your resistor, sister
[Chorus]
But don't you let it get too hot (Too hot, too hot)
Too hot to handle (Too hot, too hot)
Too much to stand, y'all (Too hot, too hot)
Too hot to handle (You've got to, got to stay on top, uh)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
But don't you let it get too hot (Too hot, too hot)
Too hot to handle (Too hot, too hot)
Too much to stand, y'all (Too hot, too hot)
Too hot to handle (Too hot, too hot)
Too much to stand, y'all (Too hot, too hot)
Too hot to handle (Too hot, too hot)
Too much to stand, y'all (Too hot, too hot)
Too hot to handle (Too hot, too hot)
Too much to stand, y'all (Too hot, too hot)
Too hot to handle (Too hot, too hot)
Too much to stand, y'all (Too hot, too hot)
Too hot to handle (Too hot, too hot)
Too much to stand, y'all (Too hot, too hot, make 'em know your name, yeah)
Too hot to handle (Too hot, too hot)
Too much to stand, y'all (Too hot, too hot)
Too hot to handle (Too hot)
