You don't know me, I don't know you
I'm not even sure I know myself
But when I find me, I hope I find me
Waking up in the Delano Hotel

Sheets like heaven, 400 thread count
Do Not Disturb sign hangin' outside the door
Seductive hint of suntan lotion
On your body from the day before

You made my skin burn
You made my skin burn
You made my skin burn
You made my skin burn

Silver service on the bedside table
Pink magnolia with a double shot of gin
I felt like Alice and we kept fallin'
'Til the curtains tangoed once again

You made my skin burn
You made my skin burn
You made my skin burn
You made my skin burn

I found a key card on the bottom of a purse
I was planning to take to Paris on the First
And my mind went racing back to you
Sometimes I wish I'd never stepped inside room 322

You made my skin burn
You made my skin burn
You made my skin burn
You made my skin burn

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
