“The Heat of Heat” is a song from Patti Austin’s album Gettin' Away With Murder and marks her first collaboration with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. Like her previous hit “Baby Come To Me,” “The Heat of Heat” also got a significant boost from television placement on soap operas like General Hospital....
[Chorus]
In the heat of heat
The heat is so hot (Hot)
My body takes control
In the heat of heat
The heat gets so hot (Hot)
My passion overloads
[Verse 1]
A lonely room until you walked in
Too positive to ignore
This sensual curiosity
Affecting me like no other has before
[Pre-Chorus]
I see your face
And chills run up and down my legs
I hear your voice
My passion's pumping through my veins
I feel your touch
The heat is driving me insane
I lose control
I think I wanna love you
And I don't think I'll ever stop
No, I don't
[Chorus]
In the heat of heat
The heat is so hot (Hot)
My body takes control
In the heat of heat
The heat gets so hot (Hot)
My passion overloads
[Verse 2]
You're touching me with hands of fire
Just comes naturally
I'm not easily hot
You just hit the spot
Nothing to prove
I know you've got a lot, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
I see your face
And chills run up and down my legs
I hear your voice
My passion's pumping through my veins
I feel your touch
The heat is driving me insane
I give in
I think I wanna love you
And I don't think I'll ever stop
No, I don't
[Chorus]
In the heat of heat
The heat is so hot (Hot)
My body takes control
In the heat of heat
The heat gets so hot (Hot)
My passion overloads
(My passion overloads)
In the heat of heat
The heat is so hot (Hot)
My body takes control
In the heat of heat
The heat gets so hot (Hot)
My passion overloads
(Oh, oh, oh)
[Post-Chorus]
And I don't think I'll ever stop
No, I don't
[Bridge]
Is it love?
(In the heat of heat)
{Heat of heat}
Or is it lust?
(In the heat of heat)
{Heat of heat}
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Don't think I'll ever stop
No, I don't
I see your face
Chills run up and down my legs
Baby, yeah, ooh
I hear your voice, oh
My body takes control
In the heat of the heat
I feel your touch
Heat is driving me insane
Hoo, hoo, hey, yeah, ooh, ooh
I lose control
I think I wanna love you, babe
Mmm, mmm, don't you know
The heat is so hot
[Chorus]
In the heat of heat
The heat is so hot
(My body takes control)
My body takes control
(In the heat of the heat)
In the heat of heat
The heat gets so hot
(In the heat of the heat)
My passion overloads
(My passion overloads)
[Outro]
My body takes control in the heat of heat
(The heat of heat)
The heat of heat, the heat of heat
