Lyrics

Lord almighty,

I feel my temperature rising

Higher higher

It's burning through to my soul

Girl, girl, girl, girl

You gonna set me on fire

My brain is flaming

I dont know which way to go

Your kisses lift me higher

Like the sweet song of a choir

You light my morning sky

With burning love

Ooh, ooh, ooh,

I feel my temperature rising

Help me, I'm flaming

I must be a hundred and nine

Burning, burning, burning

And nothing can cool me

I just might turn into smoke

But I feel fine

Cause your kisses lift me higher

Like a sweet song of a choir

And you light my morning sky

With burning love

It's coming closer

The flames are now licking my body

Please won't you help me

I feel like Im slipping away

It's hard to breathe

And my chest is a-heaving

Lord have mercy,

I'm burning a hole where I lay

Cause your kisses lift me higher

Like the sweet song of a choir

You light my morning sky

With burning love

Ah, ah, burning love

Im just a hunk, a hunk of burning love

Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love

More Trivia

This song about the breakdown of a relationship had already featured on the self-titled 1972 album by Country-Soul pioneer Arthur Alexander. Though it had obvious hit potential, Elvis had just separated from his wife, Priscilla, and was not in the mood for a Rock n Roll number, so he wasn't keen to record it. Elvis' producer Felton Jarvis had to persuade him that the song was worth trying, and after 6 attempts, the "King of Rock and Roll" came up with an inspired take.
