BODYFIRE
I feel like a gangster put the squeeze on me
I feel like a joker gimme the freeze for free
I feel like an agent gimme the secret key
I feel like a fire put the heat in me

The only way to go is up
The only way to go is down
The only way to go is nowhere
When Love is not around

Body, bodyfire
Body, bodyfire
I got this hot desire
I got body, bodyfire

If you’re looking for love, tell me where you’ve seen it
I think that I forget wherever I did leave it
I’m losing my direction, I just can’t keep it
And when I say I need you, you know that I mean it

The only way to go is up
The only way to go is down
The only way to go is nowhere
When Love is not around

Body, bodyfire
Body, bodyfire
I got this hot desire
I got body, bodyfire

Body, bodyfire
Body, bodyfire
I got this hot desire
I got body, bodyfire
