LYRICS.

There's been a lot of toasting,
A lot of guys have been up to her,
But she told them she was waiting
For the one that God had sent to fulfill her kind of craving,
A special kind of loving,
One with love and understanding,
Come raining come shining;
People started to say that she wanted more than Mr. RIGHT,
All that she wanted was the man that sees the LIGHT,
They say she's a fool for being up too TIGHT,
When all that she wanted was good love, no be FIGHT;
That special kind of girl hard to come by,
This kind of girl na I'm I want to make wife,
You're the one,
I say no more,
Don't bother about what the people say
cos I say...

[Chorus]
Every time that I look into your eyes, I see FIRE in there (Theres Fire)
And if you look into my eyes, you see DESIRE in there (DESIRE...);
Girl, if LOVE is a CRIME, then I'm willing to be WANTED;
Girl, if LOVE is a CRIME, I'm willing to be HAUNTED;
I've gotta lot of respect for you cos your kind is SO RARE (SO RARE...),
It's kind of hard to imagine but I know YOU'RE OUT
THERE (YOU'RE OUT THERE...);
Girl, if LOVE is a CRIME, then I'm willing to be WANTED;
Girl, if LOVE is a CRIME, I'm willing to be HAUNTED;

[Verse 2]
She said to me: "Do you wanna be the last man standing",
She said to me: "Do you wanna be the one that'll be complimenting me";
Huuuh yeah! Girl, I wanna be your beginning and your ending,
Oooooh! I wanna be the only one that you'll be sending;
I can't believe she's still a virgin,
A lot of guys have been up to her,
But there's was no compromising;
She'd be strong,
she'd keeping herself until the day of her wedding,
Under the right ceiling,
With the right person,
That person deserving all that special kind of loving;

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
So keep the FIRE burning,
Keep the FIRE burning, burning, burning;
FIRE burning,
Keep the FIRE burning, burning, burning;
Keep the FIRE burning,
Keep it,
Keep the FIRE burning, burning, burning;
Girl, if LOVE is a CRIME, then I like to dey go JAIL,
Girl, if LOVE is a CRIME, I prefer to dey stay JAIL;
Girl, if LOVE is a CRIME,
Girl, if LOVE is a CRIME,
See,
Every time that I look into your eyes, I see FIRE in there,
And if you look into my eyes, you see DESIRE in there;
Keep the FIRE burning,
Keep the FIRE burning, burning, burning;
FIRE burning....
