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
