Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lord almighty
I feel my temperature risin'
Higher, higher
It's burnin' through to my soul
Girl, girl, girl
You goin' to set me on fire
My brain is flamin'
I don't know which way to go
[Verse 2]
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my mornin' sky
With burnin' love
[Verse 3]
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 into smoke
But I feel fine
[Verse 4]
Because your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my mornin' sky
With burnin' love
[Verse 5]
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'
Lord, have mercy
I'm burnin' a hole where I lay
[Verse 6]
(Yeah)
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my mornin' sky
With burnin' love
With burnin' love'
(Burnin' love)
[Verse 7]
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' love
A 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
Just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' love
