(M. Riperton  R. Rudolph) 

 

Everytime he comes around I feel like I'm on fire 

When he looks into my eyes and sees down to my soul 

It's 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 ain't lookin' for a man to hold me for an hour 

I ain't lookin' for a man to love me for a day 

Every time he comes around I get the funny feelin' 

What I'm looking for don't matter anyway 

Hey, it don't matter anyway 



'Cause every since I was a child 

I dreamed about my baby's 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 I'm on fire 

When he whispers in my ear I start to lose control 

Still it's 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 baby's 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 I'm on fire 

Mmmm, I lose control 

Still it's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire 

Or the love I need to make my spirit whole
