On Fire
Modjo(모조) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's hard to believe, but I realise it's true
You make me feel, that I'm out to get to you

What you going to do, when the evening comes?
Just give in to me, let me sail on your cloud

My heart's on fire
Full of desire
Gotta make it better
C'mon, try harder

Hearts on sober
Let me take you higher
This burning desire
Will make you surrender

Tone it down, I don't want to go straight
But now is the time, and our love is here to stay

So we had to do, what you done to me
Won't get no relief, if I don't have you

My heart's on fire
Full of desire
Gotta make it better
C'mon, try harder

Hearts on sober
Let me take you higher
This burning desire
Will make you surrender

(My heart's on fire, full of desire,
Gotta make it better, c'mon, try harder)

My heart's on fire
Full of desire
Gotta make it better
C'mon, try harder

Hearts on sober
Let me take you higher
This burning desire
Will make you surrender

My heart's on fire...
Full of desire...
Gotta make it better...
C'mon, try harder...

My heart is on fire...

Hearts on sober
Let me take you higher




This burning desire
Will make you surrender
