You change your  
Like a girl  clothes 
Yeah you, PMS 
Like a bitch I would know 

And you over think 
Always  cryptically 
I should know 
That you're no  for me 

'Cause you're hot then you're cold 
You're yes then you're no 
You're in then you're out 
You're up  you're down 
You're wrong when it's right 
It's black and it's white 
We fight, we break up 
We kiss, we make up 
You don't really  stay 
But you don't really wanna go 
'Cause you're hot then you're cold 
You're yes  you're no 
You're in then you're out 
You're up then you're down 

We used to be 
 like twins, so in sync 
The same energy 
Now's a dead battery 

Used to laugh 'bout nothing 
Now you're plain boring 
I should know 
 you're not gonna change 

'Cause you're hot then you're cold 
You're yes then you're no 
You're in then you're out 
You're up then you're down 
You're wrong when it's right 
It's black and it's white 
We fight, we break up 
We kiss, we make up 
You don't really wanna stay 
But you don't  wanna go 
'Cause you're hot then you're cold 
You're yes then you're no 
You're in  you're out 
You're up then you're down 

You're hot , you're cold 
You're hot , you're  
You're hot , you're  
You're hot , you're cold 

Wooh, woooh, yeah, alright 
 on, haha, wooh, yeah come on 

Would someone call the doctor 
Got a case of love bipolar 
 on a roller coaster 
Can't get off this ride 

You change your mind 
Like a girl changes clothes 

'Cause you're hot then you're cold 
You're yes then you're no 
You're in then you're out 
You're up then you're down 
You're   it's right 
It's black and it's white 
We fight, we break up 
We kiss, we  up 
You don't really wanna stay 
But you don't really  go 
'Cause you're hot then you're cold 
You're yes then you're no 
You're in then you're out 
You're up  you're down 

You're hot, you're cold 
You're hot, you're cold 
You're hot, you're cold 
You're hot, yeah
