[English]

I'm hot

You're cold

You go around

Like you know

Who I am

But you don't

You've got me on my toes

I'm slippin' into the lava

And I'm tryin' to keep from going under

Baby, who turned the temperature hotter?

'Cause I'm burnin' up

Burnin' up for you, baby

C'mon girl

I fell (I fell)

So fast (so fast)

Can't hold myself... back

High heels (high heels)

Red dress (red dress)

All by yourself

Gotta catch my breath

I'm slippin' into the lava

And I'm tryin' to keep from going under

Baby, who turned the temperature hotter?

'Cause I'm burnin' up

Burnin' up for you, baby

Walk in the room

All I can see is you

Oh, starin' me down

I know you feel it too

I'm slippin' into the lava

And I'm tryin' to keep from going under

Baby, who turned the temperature hotter?

'Cause I'm burnin' up

Burnin' up for you, baby

I'm slippin' into the lava

And I'm tryin' to keep from going under

Baby, who turned the temperature hotter?

'Cause I'm burnin' up

Burnin' up for you, baby

We're burnin' up in the place tonight

Gonna sing it loud

Gonna feel it right

Get up and dance, don't try and fight it

Big Rob's for real

And that's no lie

Stop, drop, and roll

And touch the floor

We're gonna keep on burnin' up

More and more

I got JB with me

Layin' it down

Now come on, boys

Let's bring the chorus around

I'm sinkin' into the lava

And I'm tryin' to keep from going under

Baby, who turned the temperature hotter?

'Cause I'm burnin' up

Burnin' up for you, baby

Burnin' up

Burnin' up for you, baby
