Hot Line Lyrics

Number please

Hot line, hot line
Calling on the hot line
For your love, for your love
Hot line, hot line
Calling on the hot line
On the hot line

I'm calling on the hot line for your love
Baby, 'cause I'm burnin' up
Like a house on fire
My desire is climbin' higher, baby

Girl, the way you move your lips
I can tell you got fire in your kiss
The way you flash your eyes
Looks like lightnin' lightin' up the sky

Stop all the calls in the world
Till I catch you, girl
Catch you at home
I asked the C.I.A.
If it was okay to use their private phone
Oh, baby, baby

Hot line, hot line
Calling on the hot line
For your love, for your love
Hot line, hot line
Calling on the hot line
On the hot line

Operator, excuse me please
But this is more than an emergency
Take those phones off-a your ears
'Cause this is only for my baby to hear

Stop all the calls in the world
Till I catch you, girl
Catch you at home
I asked the C.I.A.
They said it was okay to use their private phone
Oh, baby, baby

Hot line, hot line
Calling on the hot line
For your love, for your love
Hot line, hot line
Calling on the hot line
On the hot line

Baby, where are you? Here am I
Should I get in touch with the F.B.I.
I know my call will be accepted
There's no chance of bein' disconnected

On the hot line, hot line
Calling on the hot line
For your love, for your love
Hot line, hot line
Calling on the hot line
On the hot line

Don't keep it busy, don't make me dizzy
Your love makes me want to shout
You're my lover, undercover
You know what I'm talkin' about

Hot line, hot line
Calling on the hot line
For your love, for your love

Among the more popular family acts on the '70s R&B circuit, Memphis' Sylvers recorded for Pride, MGM, Capitol, Casablanca, and Geffen during their 13-year chart run. No less than nine of the ten brothers and sisters in the family — Olympia, Leon, Charmaine, James, Edmund, Ricky, Angie, Pat, Foster — performed in the group that was viewed as a Southern version of the Jackson 5. Their 1972 Pride single "Fool's Paradise" got things going in the right direction, reaching number 14 on the R&B charts. They had three other Top Ten R&B hits in the '70s, but their biggest song was "Boogie Fever" in 1975. It perfectly captured the disco spirit and topped both the R&B and pop charts that year. "Hot Line" was another Top Ten on both lists in 1976, and their second biggest single. They scored another Top 20 R&B single on Casablanca in 1978, "Don't Stop, Get Off," but the charming qualities of their earlier material seemed more calculated. They couldn't recapture the spark during their mid-'80s period on Geffen.
