Kenny Rogers & The First Edition singing "Something's Burning"
on "Top of the Pops" (a popular UK music countdown show) (February 26, 1970).
"Something's Burning" was the new single from their fifth album of the same name. It became a Top 20 song around the world.
The song was written by singer Mac Davis. Surprisingly, the some radio stations in the USA banned the song because they felt the lyrics were too suggestive.
♫" You lie in gentle sleep beside me
I hear your warm and rhythmic breathing
I take your hand and hold it tightly
Listen, can you not hear our young hearts beating
I kiss the sleep from your eyes
Your smile is sweeter than the morning
And here it comes
Can you feel it baby
Can you feel it, here it comes
Feel it, Feel it
Fire, Fire
Something's burning
Something's burning
And I think it's love.
And now the sun is burning brightly
We lie in love so close together
I get the feeling deep inside me
My love for you will burn forever
I cup my hands to touch your face
And once again I feel your fire
And here it comes
Can you feel it baby
Can you feel it, here it comes
Feel it, Feel it
Fire, Fire
Something's burning
Something's burning
And I think it's love.
Can't you feel the love that's burning
And I think it's love "♫
