Verna Francis - Like a Live Wire Lyrics

From out of the blue it hit me
I felt vibrations shaking my soul
The moment the love bug bit me
Just like a wildfire out of control
I was lost, alone in the desert
Searching far and right for a drop of water
As a cause of laughing when that hurt
When you wait for half, don't accept a quarter

Like a live wire, like a burning fire
It's too hot to touch, don't get a shock
Like a live wire, burning with desire
Give my heart the key to turn the lock
Just like a live wire

I knew I had been struck by lightning
The day you walked into my life
It happened so fast it's frigtening
Like walking on the edge of a knife
I was trapped, like traveling quicksand
Pulling me in deeper, there's no escaping
Like a cry, an earthquake where I stand
Knocks an opportunity for the taking

Like a live wire, like a burning fire
It's too hot to touch, don't get a shock
Like a live wire, burning with desire
Give my heart the key to turn the lock
Just like a live wire

Love's got me burning up like a heatwave
Love's got me spinning with vertigo
I'd nearly given up, what a close shave
My feet are leaving the ground below
I was lost, alone in the desert
Searching far and right for a drop of water
As a cause of laughing when that hurt
When you wait for half, don't accept a quarter

Like a live wire, like a burning fire
It's too hot to touch, don't get a shock
Like a live wire, burning with desire
Give my heart the key to turn the lock
Like a live wire, like a burning fire
It's too hot to touch, don't get a shock
Like a live wire, burning with desire
Give my heart the key to turn the lock"
