Lyrics
Your doin’ all you can
To get in them old jeans
You want that body back
You had at 17
Well baby don’t get down
Don’t you worry about a thing
‘Cause the way you fill ’em out
Hey that’s alright with me
I don’t want the girl you used to be
And if you ain’t noticed
The kids are fast asleep
And your
One hot mama
You turn me on
Let’s turn it up
And turn this room
Into a sauna
One hot mama
Oh what you say babe
You wanna?
Well I know sometimes you think
That all you really are
Is the woman with the kids
And the groceries in the car
And you worry ’bout your hips
And you worry ’bout your age
Meanwhile I’m tryin’ to catch
The breath you take away
Oh and believe me you still do
Baby all I see
When I look at you
Is
One hot mama
You turn me on
Let’s turn it up
And turn this room
Into a sauna
One hot mama
Oh what you say babe
You wanna?
I can’t imagine me
Lovin’ someone else
I’m a lucky man
I think that is kinda said
One hot mama
You turn me on
Let’s turn it up
And turn this room
Into a sauna
One hot mama
Oh what you say babe?
Oh now what you say babe?
You wanna?
Your one hot mama
Let’s turn this room
Into a sauna, yeah
What do you say babe?
What do you say baby?
Hot mama, yeah
