A combination makes the spark
We fuel the fire then watch it grow
A stimulation to the heart
I lose my head
Out of control

Pulling me over, running me through
I'd be right there in a beat (beat) boy
I'd do anything to be with you
I lose my breath
Out of control

You make my heart beat faster
And that's all that matters
You make my heart beat faster
And that's all that matters
You make my heart beat faster
And that's all that matters
You make my heart beat faster
And that's all that matters

Imagination turn the key
Snap the shot
It's in my head
Anticipation grabbing me
I lose my breath
Out of control

A combination makes the spark
We fuel the fire then watch it grow
A stimulation to the heart
I lose my head
Out of control

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.
