written by Bruce Springsteen (1979)

performed by Babyface and Des'ree

You're riding in my car

I turn on the radio

I'm pulling you closer

But you keep tellin' me no

You say you don't like it

But I know you're a liar

'Cause when we kiss

Ooh...

Fire

Late at night

You're taking me home

You say you wanna stay

But I want you to go

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 my kisses might burn

But my heart stays cool

Well Romeo and Juliet

Sampson and Delilah

Baby you can bet

They were burnin' with desire

If I say split

Then I know that I'd be lying

'Cause when we kiss

Ooh...

Fire

When we kiss

I'm on fire

Your tenderness

Gives me desire

I can't resist

Your tender lips

When we kiss

Ooh...

Fire

When we kiss

I'm on fire

Your tenderness

Gives me desire

I can't resist

Your tender lips

When we kiss

Ooh...

Fire

ORIGINAL VERSION:

I'm driving in my car

I turn on the radio

I'm pulling you close

You just say no

You say you don't like it

But girl I know you're a liar

`Cause when we kiss

Fire

Late at night

I'm takin' you home

I say I wanna stay

You say you wanna be alone

You say you don't love me

Girl you can't hide your desire

`Cause when we kiss

HOOK

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 your heart stays cool

Romeo and Juliet

Samson and Delilah

Baby you can bet

Their love they didn't deny

Your words say split

But your words they lie

`Cause when we kiss
