"Flame Of Love" lyrics - PETER WOLF

Talkin' 'bout the flame of love!

Her dress was a simple black hoop
She had shoes and a hat to match
In her hand she held a cigarette
Looking so cool and detached

In the line for the #9 bus
She asked me for a light
How strange love should start like that
One strike of a match and just one stare

And the flame of love is like a fire (fire)
Fire's got me burning (burning)
Flame of love is like a fire (fire)
And the fire is growin' higher and higher

We sat together in back of the bus
Talked as we rode downtown
I asked her to meet later that night
She smiled and wrote her address down

But like a fool when I got off that bus
I left her number behind
Now everyday I'm waiting in line
Hoping she'll show just one more time

And the flame of love is like a fire (fire)
Fire's got me burning (burning)
Flame of love is like a fire (fire)
And the fire is growin' higher and higher

Yeah, talking 'bout the flame of love (flame of love)
I'm talkin' 'bout it now (flame of love)
Keep burning higher (flame of love)
Breakdown, get it now

Like a man on remote control
Or a moth drawn to a flame
All caught up in what she's got
So why am I fightin' the heat, when I feel so hot

And the flame of love (flame of love) is like a fire (fire)
Fire's got me burning (burning)
Flame of love is like a fire (fire)
And the fire is growin' higher and higher

Flame of love (flame of love) is like a fire (fire)

Oh, baby love keep burnin' (flame of love)
Oh! Come on (flame of love)
Talkin' bout hte flame of love
Keep on burning' down inside, Oh (burning)
Fire burnin' (burnin', burnin') It is burning (burnin', burnin')

(Flame of love) Give it to me (burning, burning)
(Burning, Burning) So hot, so hot (burning love, flame of love)
Baby got the flame of love (flame of love)
Girls got the flame of love (flame of love)
So hot, what that girl's got
Knock it down, knock it down, knock it down, listen
