man I'm burning up it must be one-hundred-twelve
gotta go and bathe in ice or else I'll sweat to death
sometimes I just hate to live here but this is still my home
for high-pay cold-air my way got repairman on the phone

and when I asked for the price he said "expensive"
I just shook my head and said "okay..."

'cause I can't stand this heat for long
if you live here where I'm livin'
the choice is either pay up or you'll burn and I'm not strong
if I'm seeming rude forgive me curse this heat
that's making me spend all my green
did that sound mean? just fix my Air Conditioner

it's just like an oven hotter than hinges of h**l
I guess it took losing A.C. to know how the '60s felt
burning in my bedroom it broke again today
now I'm boiling with anger that repairman's gonna pay!

and before I leave my house I'm hesitating
but tonight in a hotel is where I'll stay

I can't stand this heat for long
if you live here where I'm livin'
you pay for a hotel room or you burn and I'm not strong
getting sleep at home? forget it! packed my bags
and I am gonna hit the road
I've gotta go where there is air conditioning

I'll just burn away forget it cost to fix
and for a hotel's too high
I'll sweat 'til I die without an Air Conditioner
