Burning Love
Elvis Presley · Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite
I feel my temperature rising
Higher and higher
It's burning through to my soul
Girl girl girl girl
Your gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
Cuz Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
Nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But I feel fine
Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love
it's coming closer
The flames they're licking my body
Won't you help me
I feel like I'm slipping away
It's hard to breathe
And my chest is just a-heaving
Lord have Mercy
I'm burning a hole where I lay
Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
(With burning love)
Burning love
(Burning love)
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Burning Love
Released on the 1967 compilation Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite, "Burning Love" stands as a defining rock and roll anthem by Elvis Presley. The track showcases Presley's signature vocal power and stage presence, blending his signature rockabilly roots with a driving, upbeat rhythm that became a staple of his later career. While often associated with his 1972 performance at the Super Bowl, the recording here captures the raw energy of his mid-to-late era work. The song remains a cultural touchstone, illustrating Presley's ability to craft high-energy pop-rock that transcended his earlier rockabilly image and solidified his status as a global icon. Its enduring appeal lies in its infectious melody and Presley's commanding delivery, making it a quintessential example of his rock and roll legacy.
