A#/F                   Cm           Gm   A#
Hotter than a summer's day, in California
           A#/F          Cm            Gm     F#
You got me meltin like a sundae, and I want you
A#/F                                   Cm                      Gm A#
I know you've been waitin' you've been waitin' a long time for me
A#/F                        Cm                      Gm F#
If you wait a little while longer this is how it'll be

Chorus:
               A#/F Cm   Gm A#
It's gonna be, hot like fire
A#/F Cm   Gm  F#
Take you higher
A#/F Cm     Gm  A#
You can't resist
A#/F   Cm       Gm                F#
Kiss, kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss

You shouldn't have said "take our time"
I'll let you know when I'm ready if that's alright
I won't keep you, I won't keep you, I won't keep you holdin' on
But if you wait on me, I promise you it won't be long

Chorus
