Lyrics:

I love you with a fever         
I love you like a fire
Everything is burning 
With the flames of my desire

Flames...
Love in flames...
I'm in flames...
Love in flames...

I love you like the movies
I love you like the TV
I love you when you're classy
And I love you when you're sleazy

Flames...
Love in flames...
I'm in flames...
Love in flames...

Only the ash remains...    
Everythings up in flames...

I wanna be your camera 
I wanna be your dancer
I wanna be your question
And I wanna be your answer

Flames...
Love in flames
I'm in flames
Love in flames

I wanna be your mystic
I wanna be your gypsy
I wanna be your target 
Anytime you wanna hit me

Flames...
Love in flames
I'm in flames
Love in flames

Only the ash remains...    
Everythings up in flames...

And there's nothing in the world
That can cure the fever...
There's nothing I can do 
To put out the fire...
There's nothing I can take 
That can take me higher...
'Cause you're my flame
You're my hot desire...

Oh, heartburn
Oh, heartburn
