Betty Wright
Burning Desire (7" Version)
[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 (you are, you are)
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 firе, you are the fire (you arе, you are)
A burning desire, oh baby, you are the fire (you are)
Say, you are the fire, you are the fire (you are, you are)
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 (you are, you are)
(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? (you are, you are)
(A burning desire) oh, I'm burnin' up, burnin' up
Burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up
Burnin' up, burnin' up (you are)
Burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up
Burnin' up, burnin' up, oh baby
(A burning desire) oh, I can feel it all in my bones
(You are, you are the fire)
Oh, you got the kind of lovin' that turns me on
(You are, you are a burning desire)
Oh, oh! Oh-ho, oh-ho, oh yeah...
(You are, burnin'...) oh, you light my fire
(Burnin'...) you're my desire (burnin'...)
Ahh... (burnin'...)
