Love Is A Burning Thing Lyrics


John Lee Hooker Love Is A Burning Thing

[Verse 1]
You know love is a burning thing
The more you fight love, you know the more you burn
The more I fight the people, I would sing
Because love is a burning thing
Yes, I felt the ring of fire
Yes, I felt a ring of fire
The more I fight, the more I burn

[Verse 2]
I went down deeper and deeper
The more I fight
When I first fell, I fell in love
I, I really felt it wouldn't last long
I kept on fightin'
I kept on fightin' love
The more I burn
And people, and people, and people I said to love
Supposed to love
Is a burning thing, is a burning thing
I'm talkin' 'bout love, I'm talkin' 'bout love
A burnin' fire

[Verse 3]
The more you fight love, the more, the more you fight
The more you burn
The more you fight, the people, the people you fall in love
I tried to fight love, but I just couldn't win
I just couldn't win
Because love is a burning thing
A burnin' fire
A burnin' fire
