Lyrics:
Burning desire sets my soul on fire
Burning desire sets my soul on fire
I feel my body drowning in your sea of love
But in the meantime there's nothing to dream
Between Hell and Heaven you just may see me chase my heart everywhere
Burning desire hotter than an electric chair
Burning desire hotter than an electric chair
Bridge:
Last night sure was sweet
it sure was good this time around
you really sent me around and around, round and round
You came on down hard on me baby
you showed me just how love could be
that's the way I like it to be
I better leave now baby
Baby I'll see you about 2 or 3, yeah
Burning desire hotter than an electric chair
