Baby I'm Burning
Dolly Parton · Best Of
I know what your eyes say
Your eyes reflect love and desire
I see that you need me
I need you to please me
You touch me and set me on fire
It's the way that you love me
The way that you touch me
The way that you whisper my name
I cannot resist you
Each time I kiss you
Then everything goes up in flames
Baby I'm burning out of control
Baby I'm burning body and soul
Hot as a pistol of flaming desire
Baby I'm burning
You got me on fire
I'm on fire
This red hot emotion
Puts fireworks in motion
It looks like the fourth of July
There's no use in fighting
The fire you've ignited
Just stand back and watch the sparks fly
Baby I'm burning out of control
Baby I'm burning body and soul
Hot as a pistol of flaming desire
Baby I'm burning
You got me on fire
Baby I'm burning
Baby I'm burning
Baby I'm burning
Baby I'm burning
Baby I'm burning out of control
Baby I'm burning body and soul
Hot as a pistol of flaming desire
Baby I'm burning
You got me on fire
Baby I'm burning out of control
Baby I'm burning body and soul
Hot as a pistol of flaming desire
Baby I'm burning
You got me on fire
Baby I'm burning out of control
Baby I'm burning body and soul
Hot as a pistol of flaming desire
Baby I'm burning
You got me on fire
