Lord almighty I feel my temperature rising Higher higher It's burning through to my soul Girl, girl, girl You gonna set me on fire My brain is flaming I don't know which way to go Your kisses lift me higher Like the sweet song of a choir You light my morning sky With burning love Ooh, ooh, ooh, I feel my temperature rising Help me, I'm flaming I must be a hundred and nine Burning, burning, burning And nothing can cool me I just might turn into smoke But I feel fine 'Cause your kisses lift me higher Like a sweet song of a choir And you light my morning sky With burning love It's coming closer The flames are now licking my body Won't you help me I feel like I'm slipping away It's hard to breath My chest is a heaving Lord have mercy I'm burning a hole where I lay Your kisses lift me higher Like the sweet song of a choir You light my morning sky With burning love With burning love I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love A hunk, a hunk of burning love A hunk, a hunk of burning love A hunk, a hunk of burning love A hunk, a hunk of burning love A hunk, a hunk of burning love
