Title:
“Chili in my Heart”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse)
E [E]very night when the stars align,
[A]mid the city’s clamor, you are my quiet sign.
[D]on’t you see, babe, I’ve been feeling so lonely,
[G]etting closer to you is my one and only.
(Chorus)
[C]hili in my heart, fire in my vein,
[G]ot me burning, baby, like a wild, unchained flame.
[A]nd I keep yearning, yearning for your touch,
[D]on’t keep it from me, babe, I need it so much.
(Verse)
[E]choes of your laughter, ringing in my ears,
[A]fter all these years, it’s the only thing I hear.
[D]on’t you realize, babe, how much I adore,
[G]azing at your smile that I’ve come to explore.
(Chorus)
[C]hili in my heart, fire in my vein,
[G]ot me burning, baby, like a wild, unchained flame.
[A]ll I want, all I need is your love,
[D]on’t keep it from me, babe, let it flow from above.
