Lyrics
YOUR HUNK OF BURNING LOVE
HAS SET ME STRAIGHT

Guys comin' in the front door, goin' out the back door,
How's a pretty girl to keep track?
I've got guys right and left of me, trying to get the best of me,
It's not male companionship I lack.
Got a shady reputation for giving excitation,
When all I'm trying to do is just give back!
That's why there's Tommy at the front door, Jimmy who is back for more,
Poor Charlie missed his turn 'cause he was late.
I've got Henry in the hallway, Toby who is back to play,
And a date with the sheriff and the mayor at eight.
I'm just doing my civic duty as the resident local beauty,
To satisfy my fans, now that's damn straight!
I was doing my usual thing, my private line did ring,
I said, "Excuse me, please, I've got to take this call."
It was my Josh on the line, asking was I feeling fine,
I said, "I've got no problems, no complaints at all."
Josh heard about my antics, sounded kind of frantic.
He said, "That hussy life of yours just hit the wall!"
Since Josh came back to town, all the guys are wearing frowns.
It's like the candy store is closed, and they want more.
I was sorry that I lied, I pouted and I cried,
When six foot two and eyes of blue came to my door.
Now, I'm wearing a big ring, eye candy and bling bling.
Josh made a date to get things straight at four.
As Daddy walked me down the aisle, there were tears, and there were smiles,
From all the gentlemen who never saw me dressed,
In an off-white gown and train, and let me now explain,
How handsome Josh stood up and greeted all our guests.
He said, "This pretty girl of mine, who's looking mighty fine,
Is gonna be my loving wife 'cause she's the best!"
That's why there's no more . . .
Tommy at the front door, Jimmy can't come back for more,
Poor Charlie missed his turn 'cause he was late.
There's no Henry in the hallway, Toby won't be back to play,
And no more dates with the sheriff and the mayor at eight.
You made an honest woman of me, and Josh honey, can't you see,
That your hunk of burning love has set me straight!
Don't tease! You know me baby, I can't wait!
Your hunk of burning love has set me straight!
