Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
It's burning through to my soul
Girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
Must Read
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But I feel fine
'Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love
It's coming closer
The flames are reaching my body
Please won't you help me
I feel like I'm slipping away
It's hard to breath
And my chest is a-heaving
Lord have mercy,
I'm burning a hole where I lay
'Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love
Ah, ah, burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
The song "Burning Love" by Elvis Presley is a song about being consumed by love. The lyrics paint a picture of a love so intense and passionate that it feels like it's burning through to the soul. The singer is completely taken by his lover, who he describes as setting him on fire, and he can't resist the overwhelming sensation of being lifted up by her kisses. He feels like he's literally burning up, but he's never felt more alive or in love.
Throughout the song, the singer's obsession with his lover becomes more and more intense. He can't think straight and doesn't know which way to go, but he doesn't care because he's completely under her spell. Even as the flames of his passion get closer and closer, he can't resist the pull of her love. At the end of the song, he's just a "hunk, a hunk of burning love," completely consumed by the heat of his emotions.
One interesting fact about "Burning Love" is that it was written by Dennis Linde, who also wrote the hit song "Goodbye Earl" for the Dixie Chicks. Another fact is that the song was originally recorded by Arthur Alexander in 1971 before Presley's version became a hit in 1972. The song was also one of Presley's last major hits before his death in 1977.
