A hot flash just swept over me
When you walked into the room
I could feel those heat waves rollin' off'a you
And your pretty body laying close to me
Melting in the heat
Hey, is it hot in here, or is it just me?

'Cause I'm burnin', burnin' up with love
Like a log in a fireplace
Yeah, I'm burnin', burnin' up with love
Since the first time I saw your face
And ever since the night we kissed, you set my world on fire
I've been b-b-b-burnin' up with love for you
I've been b-b-b-burnin' up with love
Been b-b-b-burnin' up with love for you
I've been b-b-b-burnin' up with love

Somebody hand me a thermometer, and hand it to me quick
I think I just better take my temperature
I'm sick (Love sick)
There's a redhot fever inside of me
I must've caught it from your lips
It gets hotter and hotter and hotter, when we kiss

Baby I'm burnin', burnin' up with love
Like a log in a fireplace
Yeah, I'm burnin', burnin' up with love
Since the first time I saw your face
And ever since the night we kissed, you set my world on fire
I've been b-b-b-burnin' up with love for you
I've been b-b-b-burnin' up with love
I've been b-b-b-burnin' up with love for you
I've been b-b-b-burnin' up with love

And ever since the night we kissed, you set my world on fire
I've been b-b-b-burnin' up with love for you
I've been b-b-b-burnin' up with love
I've been b-b-b-burnin' up with love for you
I've been b-b-b-burnin' up with love
