Get busy!

I remember when mama told me
She said don't play with matches
I don't know
But there's a chance I might burn myself
When the flames get too high, hey
Now it seems I met my match
'Cause every time I kiss you, yeah, yeah
Everything's gone up in smoke
Like a fire engine light, that's right

You've got my heart on fire
My love is all in flames
You keep the fire burning
And it's your love that is to blame
You've got my heart on fire
My love is all in flames
You keep the fire burning
And it's your love that is to blame

I don't want you to cool down, baby
'Cause this is my kind of arson, yeah, yeah
(Burn me with your love flames)
I take my hand and turn the heat
Up higher till I fry
Girl, this ain't no false alarm
It's urgent that I be with you, ooh-ooh...
So I'll consume you with some candlelight
And dinner just for two, oh-oh-oh-oh...

My heart on fire
My love is all in flames
You keep the fire burning
And it's your love that is to blame
You've got my heart on fire
My love is all in flames
You keep the fire burning
And it's your love that is to blame

Whoa-whoa, you know I'm hot for you
My temperature is rising all the way
'Cause all I do is think about your lovin'
Night and day

You've got my heart on fire
My love is all in flames
You keep the fire burning
And it's your love that is to blame
You've got my heart on fire
My love is all in flames
You keep the fire burning
And it's your love that is to blame

You've got my heart on fire
My love is all in flames
You keep the fire burning
And it's your love that is to blame
You've got my heart on fire
My love is all in flames
You keep the fire burning
And it's your love that is to blame

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, everybody
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh-oh...
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Whoa-whoa, you know I'm hot for you
My temperature is rising all the way
'Cause all I do is think about your lovin'
Night and day, yeah

You've got my heart on fire
My love is all in flames
You keep the fire burning
And it's your love that is to blame
You've got my heart on fire
My love is all in flames
You keep the fire burning
And it's your love that is to blame

You've got my heart on fire
My love is all in flames
You keep the fire burning
And it's your love that is to blame
You've got my heart on fire
My love is all in flames
You keep the fire burning
And it's your love that is to blame

Heart on fire!
Heart on fire!
Heart on fire!
Heart on fire!

You've got my heart on fire
My love is all in flames
You keep the fire burning
And it's your love that is to blame
You've got my heart on fire
My love is all in flames
You keep the fire burning
And it's your love that is to blame

You've got my heart on fire
My love is all in flames
You keep the fire burning
And it's your love that is to blame
You've got my heart on fire
My love is all in flames
You keep the fire burning
And it's your love that is to blame...

Kool & the Gang is an American jazz, R&B, soul, funk, and disco group from Jersey City. They were originally named the Jazziacs when they formed the group in 1964.

They went through several musical phases during their recording career, starting out with a purist jazz sound, then funk and R&B, progressing to a smooth pop-funk ensemble, and in the post-millennium creating music with a modern, electro-pop sound.

The group was becoming prominent in the music industry in the 1970s with hits such as “Holly Wood Swinging”, “Jungle Boogie” and “Summer Madness”. However they cemented their legendary status after the addition of lead vocalist James “J.T.” Taylor. With his help they went on to create classic hits such as “Ladies Night”, “Celebration”, “Get Down On It”, “Cherish” and countless others.
