The palpitating beast that beats within my battered breast Burning and bedeviling, not allowing any rest The thunder in my mind reflects the storm within my heart The blasting, blaring sound that tears my soul apart If this is love Who nee-eeds it There's a tender tempting feeling that is blowing in my mind Soothing and caressing a part of me that's blind A warming worm that's mellowin' and eating my resolve Changing and challenging my cold heart to dissolve If this is love I wa-an' it Now a flaming, flaring fire I feel has trapped me in it's trance Flashin' and flickering and forcing me to dance I'm raised by its pure energy, aborning me anew Blinding but enlightening, I know the fire is you If this is love Woh, I wa-an' it If this is love I wa-an' it If this is what lo-ove is like Oh yes, I nee-eed it Oh if this is what love is like I want to have a taste of it (fade)
