3 - Wera Matao
Hot and Cold

Chorus

Ka wera hot
Ka mātao and cold
ka whakapoko i tōku ao extinguishing my world
ka tata you’re near
ka mamao then your distant
ka ngaro haere au i tō wao I’m getting lost in your forest
Kia māia, āe rā be certain, without a doubt
Kia pai te taraiwa, drive with intention
Ka wera hot
Ka mātao and cold
ka whakapoko i tōku ao extinguishing my world

Verse 1
E kore au e mahi hāwhe hāwhe I don’t do things half ass’d
Kāo, kia ū tonu au ki a koe, āke āke, so I’m tryna stick with you forever
Kotahi tō waewae ki roto, kotahi anō ki waho you’ve always got one foot in and one foot out
Kāore au i te kōingo kia raru i tētahi aroha kāpō It’s not my wish/dream to be troubled by a blind love

Pre Chorus

Mehemea he kāo if this is a no
Me mātua mōhio ai then I gotta know
Kōrero pono mai just be real with me
Mehemea he āe if this is a yes
Ehara au i te kēmu don’t play me (like a game)
Kei pā mai te mamae maybe I should leave and just let it burn

Chorus

Ka wera hot
Ka mātao and cold
ka whakapoko i tōku ao extinguishing my world
ka tata you’re near
ka mamao then your distant
ka ngaro haere au i tō wao I’m getting lost in your forest
Kia māia, āe rā be certain, without a doubt
Kia pai te taraiwa, drive with intention
Ka wera hot
Ka mātao and cold

Wāhanga tuarua Verse 2
He maha ngā mea whakapōhauhau There’s a lot of things to be unsure about
kaua ko te aroha, e te tau love is not one of them, girl
Ki runga ki raro up and down
Ki roto ki waho in and out
ki te pēnei tonu koe ka wehe au keep this up and I’m gone

Pre Chorus

Mehemea he kāo if this is a no
Me mātua mōhio ai then I gotta know
Kōrero pono mai just be real with me
Mehemea he āe if this is a yes
Ehara au i te kēmu don’t play me (like a game)
Kei pā mai te mamae maybe I should leave and just let it burn

Chorus

Ka wera hot
Ka mātao and cold
ka whakapoko i tōku ao extinguishing my world
ka tata you’re near
ka mamao then your distant
ka ngaro haere au i tō wao I’m getting lost in your forest
Kia māia, āe rā be certain, without a doubt
Kia pai te taraiwa, drive with intention
Ka wera hot
Ka mātao and cold

Bridge

Kia mahana ai te wairua warm up my soul
Kia kaua e pūmātao don’t let it freeze
Kia mahana ai te wairua warm up my soul
Kia kaua e pūmātao don’t let it freeze

Chorus

Ka wera hot
Ka mātao and cold
ka whakapoko i tōku ao extinguishing my world
ka tata you’re near
ka mamao then your distant
ka ngaro haere au i tō wao I’m getting lost in your forest
Kia māia, āe rā be certain, without a doubt
Kia pai te taraiwa, drive with intention
Ka wera hot
Ka mātao and cold
