Burning Desire
[Verse 1]
Burning deep down inside my soul is you
Uncontrollable feelings I have for you
Between the two, they will call us the flame of love
This towering inferno that's burning inside is you, oh yeah

[Chorus]
You are the fire, you are the fire
A burning desire, you are the fire (you are)

[Verse 2]
This passion of love I have is waiting for you
'Cause no one can make me feel this way, it's true
I'm burning and yearning and burning, what can I do?
To help me control these feelings I have for you... oh, oh

[Chorus]
You are the fire, you are thе fire
A burning desire, you arе the fire (you are)

[Bridge]
Burn, deep down in my soul
As we yearn when we burn
Oh, and I feel deep down in my soul
This love is real
As the fire continues to burn
[Chorus]
You are the fire, you are the fire
A burning desire, you are the fire (you are)

[Outro]
(You are the fire) oh, you started a flame
I can't put it out, baby
(A burning desire) won't you come
And let me show you what love's all about
(You are, you are the fire) can't you feel it?
Can't you feel it, can't you feel it?
(A burning desire) oh, I'm burnin' up, burnin' up
Burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up
Burnin' up, burnin' up (you are)
(You are the fire) burnin' up, burnin' up
Burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up, oh baby
(Burnin'...) oh, you light my fire
(Burnin'...) you're my desire (burnin'...)
(You are the fire) you're my desire, baby
(Burnin', I'm burnin'...) (a burning desire)
(Burnin'...) oh, burn my fire, burnin'
(You are, you are the fire) don't you feel the fire yearnin'
(Burnin'...) don't you feel the fire burnin'
(Burning fire) don't you feel this fire yearnin'
(Burn...) I want your love, I want your love
(You are, you are the fire) I want your love, baby
(Burn...) bring on the fire, baby
(A burning desire) oh, I can feel the fire...
