I'm ridin' in your car,
You turn on the radio
You're pullin' me close,
I just say no
I say I don't like it,
but you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire
Late at night,
You're takin' me home
You say you wanna stay,
I say I wanna be alone
I say I don't love you,
But you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire
You had a hold on me right from the start
A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin', actin' like a fool
Well, your kisses they burn, but my heart stays cool...
Well, Romeo and Juliet,
Samson and Delilah
Baby you can bet
A love they couldn't deny
My words say split,
But my words they lie
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire
Ooh fire...
Kisses like fire...
Burn me up with fire
I like what you're doin now, fire
Touchin me, fire
Touchin me, burnin me, fire
Take me home
