Feel the Heat

(Gary Rex Tanner)
Gary Rex Tanner

Feel the Heat, the title song, is about simple lust. Written while I sat waiting for a beautiful lady to get ready to go out to dinner. Took about a half hour as I recall, the song that is.

Some people say and it must be true

  I can't get enough of you
  I don't care what people think
  I just turn the other cheek
  I may be dumb but I'm no liar
  Where there's smoke there's usually fire
  And I can smell that there's somthin' smokin'
  I'm gettin' warm baby I ain't jokin'
  Your body's movin' to a jungle beat
  Baby I can feel your heat
 
  Some people's lives are out of focus
  The world spins by and they hardly notice
  Some people live in an ivory tower
  View the world like a hot house flower
  Me I'm like a rollin' stone
  Lost and frozen to the bone
  But I can feel this iceburg thaw
  Flames are curlin' up my wall
  Steam is risin' off my feet
  Baby can you feel my heat
 
  Some people say that I'm just a loser
  A loner and a burned out boozer
  Some people say that I'm just well meanin'
  Quite harmless 'cause I'm only dreamin'
  Maybe they should wait and see
  If I can decorate your tree
  I can feel your hormones jumpin'
  I can feel my heart start pumpin'
  Every time our gazes meet
  Baby can you feel the heat
 
  I 'm paralyzed since lightnin' struck
  Someone call the fire truck
  People starin' on the street
  Baby they can feel our heat
