I'm burning up, by Yvonne Chaka Chaka

I'm burning up Song Lyrics:

I waited long, day after day
For love to come my way
My eyes is looking, my heart's desire
A very special man (3x)

Chorus
I'm burning up (2x)
My heart's on fire
I'm burning up, I'm burning
I'm burning up

And when he gets here, strong and sincere
With stars in his eyes
And the way he talks
Holds me when I fall
He'll be my special man (3x)

Repeat Chorus 3x

Conversation - phone ringing
Man: Fire station
Officer Stones speaking
Woman: Help, help, I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Man: Be cool, honey
What's your address, where you at
Woman: Number 1, 22nd Street
Man: We are on our way
We're gonna put out that fire
Take it easy, relax
We are on our way to rescue you
Woman: Hurry, hurry, help me, I'm burning up

Repeat Chorus 2x

I'm waiting for a knock on my door
From a special man
I close my eyes, I see paradise
Yes, I am ready for love
Are you ready (Yes/yea I'm ready for love) (2x)

Repeat Chorus till fade
