Got my soul protected
All my time's invested
Getting through to you
Getting through to you

Got the information
Strong determination
To make you happy
When you are mine

Got a burning desire
Hot as fire
But you're cold as ice
But you're cold as ice

If you'll just try me
Maybe then you'll see
Life can be better
When you are mine

Don't you need affection?
Sweet soul protection
And I'm just the one
To give it to you

Just got to warn you
Somebody else will harm you
No need to worry
When you are mine

Got a burning desire
Hot as fire
But you're cold as ice
But you're cold as ice

If you'll just try me
Baby, then you'll see
Life can be better
When you are mine
