Hot Mess Lyrics

You were a problem child
Been grounded your whole life
So now you running wild
Playing with them good girls
No that ain't your style

You think your hot shit
I love it, I love it, yeah, yeah
Stumbling but yeah, you're still looking hella fine
Keep doing what you're doing, I will make you mine

Well, you're a hot mess and I'm falling for you
And I'm like, 'hot damn let me make you my boo'
Cause you can shake it, shake it, shake it
Yeah you know what to do
You're a hot mess, I'm loving it, hell yes

You got me hypnotized
The city's your playground,
I watch you take a bite
At five AM roaming in the streets
Drunk all night
You think you're hot shit
I love it, I love it, yeah, yeah
Stumbling but yeah, you're still looking hella fine
Keep doing what you're doing, I will make you mine

Well, you're a hot mess and I'm falling for you
And I'm like, 'hot damn, let me make you my boo'
Cause you can shake it, shake it, shake it
Yeah you know what to do
You're a hot mess, I'm loving it, hell yes

You're a hot mess and I'm falling for you
And I'm like, 'hot damn let me make you my boo'
Cause you can shake it, shake it, shake it
Yeah you know what to do
You're a hot mess, I'm loving it, hell yes

If you're dancing up on tables
You go, you go, you got it girl
Say that you're unstable
You go coco, you got it girl
Dancing up on tables
Say that you're unstable
You're a ha ha ha ha ha yeah you're a hot mess
Ha ha ha ha ha we're singing hell yes

Well, you're a hot mess and I'm falling for you
And I'm like, 'hot damn let me make you my boo'
Cause you can shake it, shake it, shake it
Yeah you know what to do
You're a hot mess
I'm loving it, hell yes
You're a hot mess and I'm falling for you
And I'm like, 'hot damn let me make you my boo'
Cause you can shake it, shake it, shake it
Yeah you know what to do
You're a hot mess
I'm loving it, hell yes (hell yes)
Hot mess, I'm loving it, hell yes (hell yes)
Hot mess, I'm loving it, hell yes (hell yes)
Hot mess, I'm loving it, hell yes

It's Warmer in the Basement

Damn, You Look Good and I'm Drunk (Scandalous)

You were a problem child
Been grounded your whole life
So now you running wild
Playing with them good girls
No that ain't your style

You think your hot shit
I love it, I love it, yeah, yeah
Stumbling but yeah, you're still looking hella fine
Keep doing what you're doing, I will make you mine

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I can't stop listening to it!!!!! It's a little different then their previous two albums. They haven't changed much though which is good. They still have their own distinct style. I love it. I can't wait for the rest of 'Hot Mess'

I think in the first stanza where you left it "..." I think it might say:

You were a problem child Been grounded your whole life So now you run wild Stay with them good girls Though it aint your style Take your hot shit Ooh I love it, I love it Yeah, yeah

thanks for the clarification i knew gabe would never say boo

by MisterGodot 16y ago

Isn't 'beau' pronounced like 'bow'?

'Boo' fits the context of the song.

by fangsxupxcobrahxstyle 16y ago

zeugma is a dolt.

If it were supposed to be 'beau' g.a.b.e. would be calling himself gay... Beau means boyfriend or male significant other.

and extraordinaryevelyn... he would too say boo. so f you... (see how I did that?)...

Someone (maybe me later today after some sleep) needs to put the lyrics from the booklet in here. Because this person messed them up royally.

I know some mean girls. Only they are actually quite old and should not be called girls.
I think mean and nasty and spiteful and thinking you are the karma police is quite a heap of bull shit. It is a hot mess. Bahahahahahah. Why can't some women just be happy in their own skin?

by FangsUp8991 16y ago

No, baraboom, not that kind. The movie. LOL> I love that movie.
