Lyrics
Thermostat Tango
[Verse 1]
It’s a frosty kind of love, or a blazing affair,
The thermostat’s the battleground, if you dare.
She’s wrapped in blankets, I’m sweating through my shirt,
Comfort’s a casualty, someone’s bound to get hurt.
[Prechorus]
Hot or cold, the battle's set,
Will we simmer, or will we sweat?
[Chorus]
Find someone who likes it like you do,
Seventy-two or sixty-two.
Sweat it out or freeze it out, it’s true,
Harmony’s the climate you both pursue.
[Verse 2]
She’s a winter wonderland, I’m a tropical breeze,
I crank it down, she’s begging, “Oh, please!”
Love’s a compromise, but this feels extreme,
Her icy fingers haunt my summer dream.
[Bridge]
Oh, Cupid’s arrow should come with a dial,
To match degrees of love, make it all worthwhile.
But here we are, thermostat’s the king,
And love’s in the balance with every setting.
[Chorus]
Find someone who likes it like you do,
Eighty-four or sixty-two.
Sweat it out or freeze it out, it’s true,
Comfort’s the chord we’re trying to cue.
