Hot Potato Lyrics by La Toya Jackson

Heart Don’t Lie

1984

Baby, what's that?
Everybody's talking 'bout you've been cheating on me
I told you that if you ever played around
Then I don't wanna hear those sounds
So what are you?

Gonna drop you like a hot, (Hot)
Hot potato
If you don't stop messing around
Gonna drop you like a hot, (Hot!)
Hot potato

You know that I will never let you down
For you, baby, I was there
Caring through sharing
No, baby, now wasn't that fair?
Huh

Gonna drop you like a hot, (Like a hot)
Hot potato
If you don't stop messing around
Gonna drop you like a hot, (Hot!)
(Baby) Hot potato
Now listen to me, boy

I always told you that I love you
But when in need, you were never around
Before I've asked you, but now I'm telling you
You stop it
Now drop it

Get him out of my life
I don't want any of him
Out of my life. (Out of my life.)
Get him out of my life. (Get him out of my life.)

Let the doorknob hit ya where the dog should've bit ya
Get out of my life. (Get him out of my life.)
Get out of my life. (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah.)
Let the doorknob hit ya where the dog should've bit ya
Get out of my life. (Get him out of my life.)
Get out of my life. (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah.)
(Hot!) Get out of my life
Hot!
Hot!
Hot!

Wait a minute, hold it!
What do you mean you gonna break up with me?
Now you don't want me upset
I'll go get my crew and come down here and tear up the whole place!
Hold it, no, you're not
Wait a minute, mister, who you supposed to be?
I'm security. You heard the lady
Now get your stuff and get out
Yah!

Let the doorknob hit ya where the dog should've bit ya
Get out of my life
Get out of my life. (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah.)
Let the doorknob hit ya where the dog should've bit ya
Get out of my life
Get out of my life. (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah.)

Get out! (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah.)
Get out! (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah.)
Get out! (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah.)
Get him out of my life
Get out! (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah.)
(Get out!) Get him out of my life
Get out! (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah.)
Get out!
