LYRICS (by Michael Bolton and Martin Briley):

I never knew someone who made me

Feel so good before

But I never gave my heart to anyone

Who could hurt me more

And when you promise me that no one else

Will ever take my place

I get the feeling you're just leading me on

And lying right to my face

First you say you want me, then you say

You're leaving

I've gotta know

(I'm coming or going with you)

When ya say you need me

Do you really mean it

Maybe its true, I just wish I could believe it

Hot love, ya leave me so cold

But one touch and you've got me

Where ya want me

Hot love, ya leave me so cold

I don't know if I'm coming or going

There's no way of knowing with you

Just when I give it up the game

Is through and your heart is mine, yeah

I turn around, you're up to something new

Ya do it time after time after time

What's it gonna take to break this circle

I've gotta know

(Am I coming or going with you?)

And when ya hurt me, do ya really mean to

Ya say ya don't, I wish I could believe you

Hot love, ya leave me so cold

But one touch and you've got me

Where ya want me

Hot love, ya leave me so cold

I don't know if I'm coming or going

There's no way of knowing with you

You come on like a fire burning

And I'm lost in the flame

Over and over again

Hot love, ya leave me so cold

But one touch and you've got me

Where ya want me

Hot love, ya leave me so cold

I don't know if I'm coming or going with you

(Hot love)

Hot love

Hot love (Hot love)

Hot, hot, hot love, (hot love) baby

Got me where ya want me

(Hot love)

Got me where ya want (hot love)

Got me where ya want me

(Hot love)

(Hot, hot love)

(Hot love)

Hot

(Hot love)

Oooh, hot love

(Hot love)

Hot love

(Hot love)

People always point out that this album is where Bolton went soft, but honestly about half the album is still 80s hair metal/AOR upbeat stuff like this.

Probably because it was never actually released as a single. What on earth were the record company thinking :(

I, like many other it would seem, wish Bolton would have stayed with sining Melodic rock like this. He does a great job with the soul songs as well, but to me personally this music is a lot more fun than 70s soul.
