[Verse 1]
Never a time I have turned down my boyfriend
When he wants me
The same thing is all that I want in return
When I want him, oh
If it’s for dancing, maybe for a drink, or just hanging out
But he fools around, and it takes always from my time
All day long, I wait for him to call me, hoo
All night long, I might as well kiss tonight goodbye, hey
[Chorus]
It burns me up
It burns me up
It burns me up
It burns me up
[Verse 2]
I give into what he says, even if it’s a lie
‘Cause I want him
This strange effect he has makes me get weak inside
When we’re touching, oh
Always says he’ll make it up, let’s get together
Any day and time
But don’t let me down, ‘cause if you do I won’t be around
All day long, I wait for him to call me, ooh
All night long, I might as well tell this man goodbye, hey, hey
[Chorus 2X]
It burns me up
It burns me up
It burns me up
It burns me up
[Bridge]
Anytime you want me (Mmm-hmm), I will be there (Right)
To show you that I’m yours when you want (Oh, really, baby?)
And how much care (Baby, ho…)
[Chorus 4X]
It burns me up
It burns me up
It burns me up
It burns me up
