Burning Love Lyrics

Lord Almighty - I feel my temperature rising
Higher, higher - it's burning through to my soul Girl, girl, girl, girl - you gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming - I don't know which way to go

Your kisses lift me higher - like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky - with burning love

Ew Ew Ew - I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming - I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning - and nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke - but I feel fine'

Your kisses lift me higher - like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky - with burning love

Break

It's coming closer - the flames are now licking my body
Won't you help me - feel like I'm slipping away
It's hard to breath - and my chest is a-heaving
Lord, have mercy I'm burning the hole where I lay

Your kisses lift me higher - like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky - with burning love

I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love - Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love - Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love - Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love

Burning Love Tips

Below is my Burning Love cover and on this song I'm using a Drop D tuning as I find the deeper D bass note helps to fill in the song when playing this type of rhythm. But drop D is always optional and not required. The other chords in this song are a G, A and a Bm.

The rhythm on this song is a steady up and down with using a typical rock and roll strum by playing the A string on the 2nd fret in conjunction with the D chord and the drop D note.

There is no lead work in this song, just straight rhythm.
