[Verse 1: Jody Watley, Howard Hewett]
You came into my life
When I was lost and all alone
With no one to call my own
You made me feel alive again
I've been in love before
And you're more than just a friend
I never thought that I would love again
But my heart is burnin' for you

[Chorus: Shalamar, Howard Hewett, Jody Watley]
Your love (Ooh) is full of fire
Burnin', only you I desire
Your love is full of fire
Can't stop this raging fire
Hot

[Verse 2: Jody Watley, Howard Hewett]
Filled with so much love
And lots of understanding
Hope this passion is everlasting
Without you there could be no me
Ooh, the warmth of your embrace
It really set my soul aflame
Girl, we're past the point of playing games
We struck the spark that will burn forever

[Chorus: Shalamar, Howard Hewett, Jody Watley]
Your love (Ooh) is full of fire
Burnin', only you I desire
Your love is full of fire
Can't stop this raging fire

[Bridge: Shalamar, Jody Watley, Howard Hewett]
You got me wanting, got me wanting
Got me wanting you, baby
You got me wanting, got me wanting you, forever
You got me wanting, got me wanting
Got me wanting you, baby
You got me wanting, you got me
Got me full of fire
Got me full of fire
Got me full of fire
Got me full of fire

[Chorus: Shalamar, Howard Hewett, Jody Watley]
Baby, your love (Ooh) is full of fire
Burnin' (Burnin'), only you I desire
Your love (Ooh) is full of fire
Can't stop this raging fire

[Verse 3: Jody Watley, Howard Hewett]
Your love is what it takes
To make me forget past mistakes
If I had known that you'd be coming my way
You would have spared me so much heartache
Girl, I'm glad you realize
That from now until the end of time
I'm gonna claim you to be mine
We got a love that lasts forever
You and I together, baby

[Chorus: Shalamar, Howard Hewett, Jody Watley]
Your love (Ooh) is full of fire
Burnin' (Burnin'), only you I desire
Your love (Ooh) is full of fire
Can't stop this raging fire

[Bridge: Shalamar, Jody Watley, Howard Hewett]
You got me wanting, got me wanting
Got me wanting you, baby
You got me wanting, got me wanting you, forever
You got me wanting, got me wanting
Got me wanting you, baby
You got me wanting
Got me (Burnin' with desire) full of fire
Boy, you're full of fire, fire
Got me (Temperature is higher) full of fire
Can't stop this raging fire

[Chorus: Shalamar, Howard Hewett, Jody Watley]
Your love (Ooh) is full of fire
Burnin' (Burnin'), only you I desire
Your love (Ooh) is full of fire
Can't stop

[Bridge: Howard Hewett, Jody Watley, Both]
No need in denyin'
Ain't no way of hidin'
Your love, your love
Burnin' with desire
Love is full of fire
Our love, our love

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Shalamar]
Your love is full of fire
Burnin'
Your love is full of fire
Can't stop

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Shalamar]
Got me full of fire
Got me full of fire
Your love is full of fire
Burnin'
Your love is full of fire
Can't stop

Shalamar is an American R&B and soul music vocal group, active in the mid-1970s and throughout the 1980s. Their original lineup consisted of Jeffrey Daniel, Jody Watley, and Gary Mumford. The group went through various lineup changes throughout the years, with Mumford replaced by Gerald Brown, and again by Howard Hewett. The lineup of Daniel, Hewett, and Watley was the most successful, selling two Platinum albums (Three For Love, Friends) and one Gold album (Big Fun).

Despite more lineup changes in the ‘80s, the group still churned out hits such as “Dancing in the Sheets” and “Don’t Get Stopped in Beverly Hills”, which won them a Grammy.

Daniel, Hewett, and Watley eventually reunited several times in the ‘90s and as recently as 2015, playing in the UK where they’ve had the most success.
