Temperature Rising – Song and Lyrics

Temperature Rising is the first song from Ify Otuya’s debut EP E.D.M.O, a 19-minutes 2010 release containing a total of 5 tracks. E.D.M.O means the Eclectic Definition of Miss O and was titled to depict the diversity in Ify Otuya’s music influences and versatility of her rich music style and lyrics. Her influences on the EP range from RnB, Soul, Gospel, Pop and Afrobeat to Rap. The song Temperature Rising itself is an RnB/Pop number containing a rap verse rendered by the singer. Ify Otuya singlehandedly wrote, arranged and produced the track Temperature Rising. Her vocals are creatively put to use on the recording’s lead and backing vocal lines. It was never released as a single but the song was performed several times by Ify in Nigeria and the United Kingdom, sometimes to a backing track and other times to live instruments and a band.

Lyrics

Verse 1
When I was a little girl I wouldn’t let nobody touch my body
But now I’m older boy I see that I want you all over my body
Ooh u excite me when u strum lightly
On ur guitar those chords make me wanna go
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Chorus
Ooh-ooh, u got my temperature rising (x4)

Post-chorus
Uhn, when u kiss me like that
Uhn, when u touch me like that
Uhn, when u put ur hands on me
Make me wanna give it to ya
(repeat)
Hahaha I’m saying, u don’t know what u’re doing to me

Verse 2
I brush my hair and fix my nails
Swing my hips cos I know u like that
Rocking tha hottest outfits looking fly
All ur boys wanna tap that
I’m so excited when u’re next to me
Keep strumming those chords u strum
They make me wanna go
Ohh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Chorus…

Post-chorus …

Rap Verse
Damn, I wanna take it all off
From my shoes to my rings to my necklace
Damn, u’re fresh as breath
Every touch got me feeling all helpless
Damn, swag up cos u shine in my eyes
In my mind u’re my weakness
Damn, wouldn’t change for the world
Anything that’s in u cos u tha best
I, I wanna give it get it
I, I wanna give it to ya I,
I wanna give it get it, give it get it, give it to ya

I wanna give it get it, I wanna give it to ya
I wanna give it get, give it get it, give it to ya
Chorus … Till fade.
