Burning Desire 12 Version by Betty Wright Lyrics
[Intro]
You are the fire... you are, you are
A burning desire... you are
[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 fire, you are the fire (you are, you are)
A burning desire, oh baby, you are the fire (you are)
[Bridge]
You are the fire... you are, you are
A burning desire... you are
You are the fire... you are, you are
A burning desire... you are
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
[Verse 3]
Oh, you started a flame, I can't put it out, baby
Won't you come and let me show you what love's all about
Can't you feel it, can't you feel it, can't you feel it?
Oh, I'm burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up
Burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up
Burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up
Burnin' up, oh baby
[Vamp]
(Burn...) oh, you light my fire, you're my desire (burn...)
Ahh... (burn, burn...) whoa, baby
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh (burn...)
You light my fire, baby, you're my heart's desire, baby
Oh, I feel the fire burning, don't you feel this body yearning?
Don't you feel the fire burning?
Don't you feel this body yearning?
I want your love, I want your love, I want your love, baby
Whoa-oh-oh, you are the fire, baby, yes you are (burn...)
Oh, I can feel it all in my bones, yeah (burn...)
Oh, you got the kind of lovin' that turns me on (burn...)
Oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh-ho, oh-ho, oh yeah... (burn...)
[Outro]
(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
Oh, you light my fire, you're my desire, ahh...
You are the fire... you are, you are
A burning desire... you are

Burning deep down inside my soul is you
Uncontrollable feelings I have for you

This towering inferno that's burning inside is you, oh yeah

A burning desire, you are the fire (you are)
