Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah
Can you feel it?
I can
It's good
Now move it
Everybody that's on the dance floor
I want you to put your hands together
And just smooth your hips from side to side (Keep the fire burning)
Yeah, that's it, you go it
Now mister DJ (Keep the fire burning)
I want you to get on down with us
It's your time to be a star
(Keep the fire burning)
Yeah, can you feel that?
You gotta ride it, baby (Keep the fire burning)
Yeah (Keep the fire burning)
It's good to move
(Keep the fire burnin')
I know you feel it, come on
Get up now (Keep it burning hot)
Listen
[Verse 2]
Keep the fires burning
Keep the fires burning
Keep them burning hot
Work on your love, yeah
You gotta give it all you got
We spend a lot of time searchin' for love
And never know where it's comin' from
And as soon as we get it
Somehow we seem to think that our work is done
But the same thing you took to get that love
Are the things that you'll have to do to keep it
You gotta stay on your j-o-b
You gotta give a little, take a lot, give it all you got, oh
[Verse 3]
Keep the fires burning
Keep the fires burning
Keep them burning hot
You gotta work on your love, yeah
You gotta give it all you got
We say a lot of things that we really mean
To each other, when love is new
Lots of promises and all the things we've said
And the things we intended to do
But as time goes by things get cold and dry
There's no more water in the well
And they're ain't no way that two can come together
If we stay locked in ourselves
[Verse 4]
Oh, keep the fires burning
Keep the fires burning
Keep them burning hot-hot, mmm
You gotta work on your love, yeah (Yeah)
You gotta give it all you got, oh
[Verse 5]
Work on it
Oh, you gotta work on it (Work on it)
Work on it, yeah
Work on it
[Verse 6]
Keep the fires burning
Keep the fires burning
Keep them burning hot, y'all
[Verse 7]
Uh-huh, you gotta work your love, yeah (Yeah)
You gotta give it all you got
We spend a lot of time searchin' for love
And never know where it's comin' from
And as soon as we get it
Somehow we seem to think that our work is done
And the same thing it took to get that love
Are the same things you'll have to do to keep it
You gotta stay on your j-o-b, yeah
You gotta give a little, take a lot, give it all you got
[Verse 8]
Keep that fire burning
Keep that fire burning
Keep it burning hot, it's good
Oh, keep that fire burning
Keep the fires burning
Keep them burning hot
Oh, whoa, oh
Keep that fire burning
Keep the fires burning
Keep it burning hot, uh-huh, yeah, ooh
Keep that fire burning (Oh, it's good)
Keep the fires burning (Oh)
Keep it burning hot
(Keep it burning, keep it burning, keep it burning hot)
[Verse 9]
Ooh, sounds so-so good
Oh, when it's so-so gigantic, uh-uh, oh
Keep the fires burning (Keep it burning)
Keep the fires burning (Gotta give it up)
Keep it burning hot (You gotta give it up, now give it up)
Keep the fire burning
Keep the fires burning
Keep it burning hot, warning you
Keep the fires burning
Keep the fires burning
Keep it burning hot
(Keep it burning, keep it burning, oh)
Keep the fires burning
Keep the fires burning
Keep it burning hot
