Stuck in L.A., ain't got no friends 

And so Hollywood nuts, 

Too many dead ends 

Life on the streets is no where to live 

Do I pack my bags or dare switch 

Just sold my car, I sold it for junk 

I can't pay my rent so I take the bus 

It's the first time 

I been in such a cold place 

Where the temperature is 88 



88 degrees 

Lord it's so hot, so damn hot 

Trying to make a deal 

But somehow I'm stopped 

Cause the pace is so heavy 

Maybe it cause the weather 

Yeah, yeah 



I'm set in the mood for you 

You remember the time 

You remember the time 



Yes, I'm the deal for a whole lot of dough 

I'm hoping success turns ten years to gold 

Finally I'm happening and I set in the press 

You ask me what it's like to be famous 



88 degrees 

Lord it's so hot, so damn hot 

Trying to make a deal 

But somehow I'm stopped 

Cause the pace is so heavy 

Maybe it cause the weather 

Yeah, yeah 



Remember the time 

Cause when in your face 

You could start to get angry 

Is it me or just this place 

One thing is for sure 

You got to work so hard 

Sure feels this ain't no place 

For broken hearts 

Just ask me tomorrow if you love you 



88 degrees 

Lord it's so hot, so damn hot 

Trying to make a deal 

But somehow I'm stopped 

Cause the pace is so heavy 

Maybe it cause the weather 

Yeah, yeah
