Hot 'N Cold Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Foggs 

Cover art for Hot 'N Cold lyrics by Basement Jaxx

This song is quite self-explanitory, about what happens while doing the dance of getting closer to someone. It means to illustrate the early part of courtship, where you don't know the other person well enough to correctly interpret what they say and do, but regardless the confusion is welcomed because the alternative is worse. The song also talks to getting on the same page, meaning that at a minimum the two will have one thing they can share in the event that everything falls apart. It is especially important for the lyricist, who openly admits they are empty inside and longing.
