It's 99 hot-damn degrees
I hear you call out to me
"Boy, why you wearing all them things?"
Cause your eyes I'm tryin' to please as I sing my song
It's 99 hot-damn degrees
And it'll take 99 g's
To ease my pain, or so it seems
And a man's resolve can only stretch so far so long
But it makes me strong
Oh, to know baby
You won't leave me out on a wire
The view don't please me out on a wire
So hold me close
I can't help myself alone
And hold me tight
Til the cool of the night
It's 99 hot-damn degrees
I'm burning up although I freeze
And have to drop down to my knees
When I hear the tune play in my head since you came along
It's 99 hot-damn degrees
I hear you call out to me
"Boy, why you smiling when you sing?"
Cause your heart I aim to please my whole life long
And it makes me strong
Oh, to know baby
You won't leave me out on a wire
The view don't please me out on a wire
So hold me close
I can't help myself alone
Hold me tight
Til the cool of the night
