somebody get a fireman 
somebody come along and hose me down 
I think I'm going crazy 
she got me dancin' like a clown 
the d.j. plays desire 
(catch a fire) 
wanna take you higher 
(liar liar) 
this gun's for hire 
she's gonna burn my playhouse down 

she said her name was venus 
I think she came out of the nile 
but all my friends who've seen her 
say she's not by style 
the tv's showing "dallas" 
(shrinking alice) 
down the streets of paris 
(elysee palace) 
I lost my balance 
she turned me upside down 

y'know I can't stop I can't stop 
I can't stop must be love must be love 
I can't stop I can't stop 
I can't stop I can't get enough can't get enough 
I can't stop I can't stop 

I squeeze her in a taxi 
with legs up to my ears 
she smiles and then she smacks me 
I think she's getting pretty weird 
and then she took me swimming 
(I was grinning) 
in the beginning 
(my head was spinning) 
I said you gotta be kidding 
she turned and stole my heart away 

I can't stop I can't stop I can't stop 
gotta be love I can't get enough 
I can't stop I can't stop I can't stop 
gotta be love gotta be love 
I can't stop I can't stop 

she's burning with desire 
(I'm catching fire) 
I can't get no higher 
(on the wire) 
call me a liar 
(but I'm a trier) 
yes, I'm a liar 
(and getting shyer) 
but I think I've gotta retire 
if I survive tonight 

y'know I can't stop I can't stop I can't stop 
can't get enough of this funky stuff 
I can't stop I can't stop I can't stop 
must be love gotta be love 
I can't stop I can't stop 
must be love
