HEARTBURN (Pete Ham)
[from Keyhole Street: Demos 1966-67 CD - recorded 1967 - released U.S. 2013]

Why does my heart burn?
What sets my soul on fire
Making my heart yearn
Burning with so much desire?
Something inside me (Something nice)
Making me feel so good (Don't think twice)
What could this thing be?
Is it the way that you hold me?

It's the heartburn you get
The first time you meet a girl
It's the heartburn you get
When you know that she
Will love me (Heartburn)
Kiss me (Heartburn)
Love me (Heartburn)

Wonderful feelings
That I thought never existed
Keeps me from reeling
Oo-wee, I just can't resist it
Come a bit closer (Closer now)
Hope that we'll never part (Closer now)
'Cause when you get closer
The burning goes up in my heart

It's the heartburn, you get
The very first time
You meet a girl
It's the heartburn, you get
When you know that she
Will love me (Heartburn)
Kiss me (Heartburn)
Love me (Heartburn)
Love me (Heartburn)

You make my heart burn
Ow
Ah-hah
