||-------------||------------------------------|| 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
