Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lord Almighty, I feel my temperature rising
Higher, higher, it's burnin' through to my soul
Girl, girl, girl, girl, you're gonna set me on fire, mm
My brain is flamin', I don't know which way to go, mm
[Chorus]
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my mornin' sky
With burnin' love (Burnin' love)
[Verse 2]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I feel my temperature risin'
Help me, I'm flamin', I must be a hundred and nine
Burnin', burnin', burnin' and nothin' can cool me, yeah
I just might turn to smoke, but I feel fine
[Chorus]
'Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my mornin' sky
With burnin' love (Burnin' love)
(Ah, ah, ah)
[PostChorus]
Burnin' love (Burnin' love)
[Verse 3]
It's comin' closer, the flames are now lickin' my body
Won't you help me? I feel like I'm slippin' away
It's hard to breathe and my chest is a-heavin', mm, mm
Lord, have mercy, I'm burnin' a hole where I lay, yeah
[Chorus]
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
And you light my mornin' sky
With burnin' love
With burnin' love (Burnin' love)
[Outro]
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' love
Hunk, a hunk of burnin' love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' love
Hunk, a hunk of burnin' love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' love, yeah, yeah
