Don't tell me lies When you talk about friends you've been doing It's no surprise To discover the tricks you've been brewing When you turn and run away Take a look at how you've give up your fantasy And if you can't stand the heat Keep out of the kitchen If you can't stand the cold Don't sleep on the floor If you can't, if you can't bear to look Wonder what you're missing If you can't stand the heat If you can't stand the heat You're no competition Can't stand the heat Can't stand the heat Don't play it down When you don't have the power to hold it Don't play the clown If the joke gets no laugh when you've told it Take a look at how you've give up your fantasy When you turn and run away And if you can't stand the heat Keep out of the kitchen If you can't stand the cold Don't sleep on the floor If you can't stand the heat Wonder what you're missing If you can't, if you can't bear to look You're no competition If you can't stand the heat Can't stand the heat Keep out of the kitchen If you can't stand the cold You're no competition If you can't stand the heat If you can't stand the heat Can't stand the heat, ah
