Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like a greedy man
I'm coming back to you
It's time to play the game
I can't stay without
Wanna get you, baby
I'm gonna take your love
'Cause I need it

[Verse 2]
Let me be your man
Let me kiss you, yeah
I need to touch you
Body's gonna be alright
I want you tonight, baby
I wanna get your love
To make love

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I wanna be close to you
I wanna see your body move
Don't take the wax
Can you make me hot tonight?
I'm like a bomb, I'm busting out

[Chorus]
It's a Burning Desire! (It's burnin' me!)
It takes my heart and my soul (whoa whoa)
Because you're just like a fire
I'm going out of control
And it drives me crazy

It's a Burning Desire! (It's burnin' me!)
It takes my heart and my soul (whoa whoa)
Because you're just like a fire
I'm going out...
And getting crazy for you
I want you, baby!

[Verse 3]
You can see me now
Just in front of you
I'm gonna touch your body
I know you'll be alright
It's gonna get you baby
Now you can taste my love
To make love

[Verse 3 - Variation]
You can see me now
Just in front of you
I'm gonna touch your body
I know you'll be alright
Gonna get you baby
Now you can taste my love
Let's make love
