Lyrics

I heat up, I (Dm)can’t cool down.

You’ve got me spin nin’ a (Am)round and ’round.

’Round and ’round and (Dm)’round it goes,

where it stops (Am)no bod y knows.

Ev ’ry time you (Dm)call my name

I heat up like a burn in’ flame.

Burn in’ flame

(Dm)full of de sire.

Kiss me, ba by, let the fire get high er.

Ab (Am)ra, ab ra ca da bra,

I wan na reach out and grab (Am)ya.

Ab ra, ab ra ca da bra,

ab ra ca da (Am)bra.

You make me hot, you (Dm)make me sigh.

You make me laugh.

You (Am)make me cry.

Keep me burn in’ (Dm)for your love

with the touch of a vel vet glove.

Ab ra, ab ra ca da (Dm)bra,

I wan na reach out and grab (Am)ya.

Ab ra, ab ra ca da bra,

ab ra ca da (Am)bra.

I feel the mag ic in your ca ress.

I feel mag ic when I (Am)touch your dress.

Silk and sat in, (Dm)leath er and lace.

Black pant ies with an (Am)an gel’s face.

I see the mag ic (Dm)in your eyes.

I hear the mag ic (Am)in your sighs.

Just when I think I’m gon na (Dm)get a way,

I hear those words that (Am)you al ways say.

Ab ra, ab ra ca da (Dm)bra,

Ab ra, ab ra ca da bra,

Kiss me, ba by, let the fire get high er,

My sit u a tion goes (Am)’round (G)and (Am)’round.

I heat up, I can’t cool down.

My sit u a tion goes (Am)’round (G)and (Am)’round.
