Lyrics Mark Knopfler

Mark Knopfler

Hot or What

She came on the river

With a gift for me

I'm in way deep

That's how it has to be

It's hot in the desert

But I'm cool in the zone

People call me lucky

But I say you make your own

I'm on a roll

Yeah, I'm on a roll

I'm runnin' hot

Baby, am I hot or what?

This is outrageous

I got all kinds of stuff

Can I dodge bullets

And can I bluff

Hot shots keep on a' coming

Looking for a fight

But the names are going down

To the left and to the right

And I'm on a roll

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm on a roll

I'm runnin' hot

Baby, am I hot or what?

It gets dark at night

That's how it goes

It gets cold in winter

Don't be surprised if it snows

You wanna play Hold'em

With my friend Mr Chan

If you lose your stack, well

You sure can't blame the man

Ha! ha! ha!

Ha! ha! ha!

I'm runnin' hot

Baby, am I hot or what?

They play with me a while

I'll read 'em like a book

Let's go have a drink or two

And talk about the scalps I took

I got a big old stack

I had me a big old day

Tomorrow I go back

Gonna take it all the way

'Cos I'm on a roll

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm on a roll

I'm runnin' hot

Baby, am I hot or what?

I said I'm runnin' hot, baby

Baby, am I hot or what?
