After the international success of Bridges' disco hit “I Love The Nightlife (Disco Round)”, the follow-up single “Body Heat”, a rock song, was a minor hit in the US only where it peaked at #86. It is her final entry on the Hot 100.
I know that I could not survive
All alone in isolation
I got to get to my body heat
From the many people I know
I got to have a steady flow
Of voices and pretty faces
I stay in crowd places
'Cause I need the body heat
Gimme, gimme your body heat
Save me from the blizzard
Gimme, gimme your body heat
Save me from the cold
All I want is your body heat
To keep me from freezing
You can make me warm inside
If you give me your body heat
Something scares me every time
I'm alone in seclusion
I don't have no body heat
When I'm all by myself
I got to have a place to go
To get some embraces
And the speaker cranked up
Because I need my body heat
Gimme, gimme your body heat
Make me a fire
Gimme, gimme your body heat
Oh, save me now
All I want is your body heat
To keep me from freezing
You can make me warm inside
If you give me your body heat
You can make me warm inside
If you give me your body heat
Gimme, gimmbe body heat
Make me a fire
All I want is body heat
Save me from the cold
Gimme, gimme body heat
Make me, make me a fire
All I want is body heat
Save me from the cold, oh
Gimme, gimme body heat
Make me a fire
