Lyrics
You wanna do it again?
Yeah, okay
Can we roll in?
We take two
One, two
One, two, three
Lord Almighty
I feel my temperature rising, mm
Higher and 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
Hmm, 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 morning love
It’s coming closer
The flames are now licking my body
Won’t you help me
Feel like I’m slipping away
It’s hard to breath
And my chest is a-heaving
Lord, have mercy
I’m burning the 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 (ah)
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love (ah)
A hunk, a hunk of burning love (ah)
A hunk, a hunk of burning love (ah)
A hunk, a hunk of burning love (ah)
A hunk, a hunk of burning love (ah)
A hunk, a hunk of burning love (ah)
A hunk, a hunk of burning love (ah)
A hunk, a hunk of burning love (ah)
A hunk, a hunk of burning love (ah)
A hunk, a hunk of burning love (ah)
I need a hunk, a hunk of burning love (ah)
A hunk, a hunk of burning love (ah)
A hunk, a hunk of burning love (ah)
A hunk, a hunk (that’s a guess)
