I swear I can't take you nowhere, baby
We just got to the party and there you go
No clue what you do, how you drive me crazy
My train of thought's already on driving you home

I try to stay in a conversation and follow what friends are saying
My eyes catch your eyes and my mind goes off on us
I do my best to act like I don't know what's waiting
But it's hard to keep it cool with you heatin' things up
So hard to keep it cool with you heatin' things up

I nod my head and join in with the laughter
All the while hoping that they ain't got no clue
I'm way on down the road to where we get together after
When this get-together's over, I'll be all over you

I try to stay in a conversation and follow what friends are saying
My eyes catch your eyes and my mind goes off on us
I do my best to act like I don't know what's waiting
But it's hard to keep it cool with you heatin' things up
So hard to keep it cool with you heatin' things up

C'mon girl, a man can only take so much
Hard to keep it cool with you heatin' things up
C'mon girl, a man can only take so much
Hard to keep it cool with you heatin' things up

I try to stay in a conversation and follow what friends are saying
My eyes catch your eyes and my mind goes off on us
I do my best to act like I don't know what's waiting
But it's hard to keep it cool with you heatin' things up
So hard to keep it cool with you heatin' things up

C'mon girl, a man can only take so much
Hard to keep it cool with you heatin' things up
