(m. riperton r. rudolph)

Everytime he comes around I feel like Im on fire
When he looks into my eyes and sees down to my soul
Its so hard for me to tell if this is just desire
Or the love I need to make my spirit whole
How am I to know?

Now I aint lookin for a man to hold me for an hour
I aint lookin for a man to love me for a day
Every time he comes around I get the funny feelin
What Im looking for dont matter anyway
Hey, it dont matter anyway

cause every since I was a child
I dreamed about my babys smile
It scares me so to say
I wanna be with him in the worst darn way

Cause every time he comes around I feel like Im on fire
When he whispers in my ear I start to lose control
Still its so hard for me to tell if this is just desire
Or the love I need to make my spirit whole
How am I to know?

Cause every since I was a child
I dreamed about my babys smile
It scares me so to say
I wanna be with him in the worst darn way

Cause every time he comes around I feel like Im on fire
Mmmm, I lose control
Still its so hard for me to tell if this is just desire
Or the love I need to make my spirit whole
