It's hard to be
It's hard for me to keep arm's length from my baby


Can't you see
When I'm away from her it sho' nuff drives me crazy


Something inside of me....when she's gone I miss her so
I wanna tell her how I feel....just gotta let her know


When I'm alone with her
And she's in my arms I'm in heaven


It's all I see
In my dreams, we'll be happy together


Side by side
I hope that our love will stay this way forever


Something inside of me....got a feelin' that won't let go
I wanna tell her how I feel....i just gotta let her know


Lookin' through her eyes
I see a paradise, no mistake she's full of fire


Like a real live wire....a house on fire
She's my burnin', she's my burnin', burnin' desire


Well it's hard to be
It's hard for me to keep arm's length from my baby


Oh can't you see
When I'm away from her it sho' nuff drives me crazy


Something inside of me....when she's gone I miss her so
I wanna tell her how I feel....i just gotta let her know


When I'm alone with her
And she's in my arms I'm in heaven


Like a real live wire....a house on fire
She's my burnin', she's my burnin', burnin' desire


Hard to be....it's hard for me
It's hard to keep, keep me from my baby
