The Fire Inside of Me
There's a burning flame within me that I've got.
It's quite a sensation that's feels so hot.
There's nothing wrong here; it feels quite right.
It wasn't caused by the enchiladas I ate tonight.
Yes, it feels so good to me without a doubt.
I don't want Pepto Bismol or Tums to put it out.
These flames seem to be going higher and higher.
Altogether, I will tell you it's a different kind of fire.
A passing woman ignited it with all her charms.
I'm not the kind of man who will call in false alarms.
