Shalamar(/ˈʃæləmɑːr/) is an American R&B and soul music vocal group, active in the mid-1970s and throughout the 1980s, that was originally a disco-driven vehicle created by Soul Train booking agent Dick Griffey and show creator and producer Don Cornelius. They went on to be an influential dance trio, masterminded by Cornelius. As noted in the British Hit Singles & Albums, they were regarded as fashion icons and trendsetters, and helped to introduce "body-popping" to the United Kingdom. Their collective name, "Shalamar", was picked by Griffey.

You came into my life

When I was lost and all alone

With no one to call my own

You made me feel alive again

I've been in love before

And you're more than just a friend

I never thought I would love again

But my heart is burnin' for you

Your love (oooh…) is full of fire

Burnin', only you I desire

Your love is full of fire

Can't stop this raging fire, yeeh

Filled with so much love

And lots of understanding

Oh, this passion is everlasting

Without you there could be no me

Ooh, the warm of your embrace

It really set my soul aflame

Girl, we're passed the point of playin' games

It's just a spark that will burn forever

Your love (oooh…) is full of fire (got me burnin')

Burnin', only you I desire

Your love is full of fire

Can't stop this raging fire

Got me wanting, got me wanting (got me wanting you, baby)

Got me wanting, got me wanting you (forever)

Got me wanting, got me wanting (got me wanting you, baby)

Got me wanting, got me, got me

Got me, full of fire

Got me, full of fire

Got me, full of fire

Got me, full of fire

Baby, your love (oooh…) is full of fire (my love is burnin', burnin')

Burnin' only you I desire

Your love (oooh…) is full of fire (you know I can't stop)

Can't stop this raging fire

Your love is what it takes

To make me forget past mistakes

If I had known that you'd be comin' my way

You would have spared me so much heart

Girl, I'm glad you realize

That from now until the end of time

I'm gonna claim you to be mine

We got a love that last forever, you and I together, baby

Your love (oooh…) is full of fire (my love is burnin', burnin')

Burnin' only you I desire

Your love (oooh…) is full of fire (can't stop)

Can't stop this raging fire

Got me wanting, got me wanting (got me wanting you, baby)

Got me wanting, got me wanting you (forever)

Got me wanting, got me wanting (got me wanting you, baby)

Got me wanting, got me

Got me burnin' with desire, full of fire

Boy, you're full of fire, fire

Got me, temperature is higher, full of fire

Can't stop this raging fire

Your love (oooh…) is full of fire (got me burnin', burnin')

Burnin', only you I desire

Your love (oooh…) is full of fire (you know I can't stop)

No need in denyin'

Ain't no way of hidin'

Your love, your love

Burnin' with desire

Love is full of fire

Our love, our love

Your love is full of fire

Burnin'

Your love is full of fire

Can't stop

Got me full of fire

Got me full of fire

Your love is full of fire

Burnin'

Your love is full of fire

Can't stop.
