FEEDIN' THE FIRE
(Becky Hobbs)


Zella Lehr - 1981



I know that I should stay away from you
I know I shouldn't want you, but I do
Oh, but you've got that fire, like nobody else
I feel it burnin', I can't help myself

And I keep feedin' the fire
I love the way you love me, baby
I'd be a liar if I said I didn't want'ya, honey
Build it higher, build a fire of love

And seein' you just adds fuel to the flame
I've got your heart, though she's got your name
And fire turns to ashes, you'd think I'd learn
The more I see you, the more I burn

And I keep feedin' the fire
I love the way you love me, baby
I'd be a liar if I said I didn't want'ya, honey
Build it higher, build a fire of love

(Instrumental Break)

Oh, I should ignore you, but I'm out of control
Temptation's burnin' down in my soul

And I keep feedin' the fire
I love the way you love me, baby
I'd be a liar if I said I didn't want'ya, honey
Build it higher, build a fire of love
Build a fire of love
A fire of love
