KEEP THE FIRES BURNIN'
Album : Good To Go
(Composer: Willie Hutch)
Gwen Guthrie - 1982


Yeah
Can you feel it?
I can
It’s good
Mmm, yeah
Now move with it, mmm, hmm

Everybody that’s on the dance floor
I want you to put your hands together
And just move your hips from side to side
(Keep the fires burnin’) Yeah, that’s it, you got it, mmm hmm
Now mister DJ (Keep the fires burnin’) I want you to, come on count with us
It’s your turn to be a star
Ooh... (Keep the fire burnin’)
Ooh...hoo...yeah, can you feel it

Keep the fires burnin’
Keep the fires burnin’
Keep them burnin’ hot
Work on your love, yeah
You got to give it all you’ve got

We spent a lot of time searching for love
And never know where it’s comin’ from
And as soon as we get it
Somehow we seem to think that our work is done

But the same thing you took to get that love
Are the things that you’ll have to do to keep it
You gotta stay on your J-O-B
You gotta give a little, take a lot, give it all you’ve got, oh

Keep the fires burnin’
Keep the fires burnin’
Keep them burnin’ hot
You gotta work on your love, yeah
You gotta give it all you’ve got

We say a lot of things that we really mean
To each other when love is new
Lots of promises and all the things we’ve said
And the things we intended to do

But as time goes by, things get cold and dry
There’s no more water in the well
And there ain’t no way that two can come together
If we stay locked in our shell, oh

Keep the fires burnin’
Keep the fires burnin’
Keep them burnin’ hot, y’all, uh-huh
You gotta work on your love, yeah
You got give it all you’ve got

We spent a lot of time searching for love
And never know where it’s comin’ from
And as soon as we get it
Somehow we seem to think that our work is done

But the same thing you took to get that love
Are the things that you have to do to keep it
You gotta stay on your J-O-B, yeah
You gotta give a little, take a lot, give it all you got

Keep it burnin’
Keep it burnin’
Oh, Lord, it’s good
Oh, keep the fires burnin’
Keep the fires burnin’
Keep them burnin’ hot oh oh oh
Keep it burnin’
Uh-huh, yeah...eah...ooh...
