[Verse 1: Babyface]
You're riding in my car
I turn on the radio
I'm pulling you closer
But you keep telling me no
You say you don't like it
But I know that you're a liar

[Chorus: Babyface]
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh, fire
Fire, la la la la, fire

[Verse 2: Des'ree]
Late at night (Mmm-mmm-mmm)
You're taking me home
You say you wanna stay
But I want you to go
I say I don't love you
But you know I'm a liar

[Chorus: Des'ree, Babyface, Both]
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh, fire (Woo)
Fire (La, la la la, la la, la la)
Fire (Woo)

[Bridge: Babyface & Des'ree, Babyface, Des'ree]
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
Your kisses might burn
But my heart...
Stays (Stays)
Cool (Cool)

[Chorus: Babyface & Des'ree, Babyface, Des'ree]
Well, Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah
Baby, you can bet
They were burnin' with desire
If I say split
If you say split
Then you know that I'd be lyin'
I know that you'd be lyin'

[Chorus: Babyface & Des'ree, Babyface, Des'ree]
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh, fire (Ooh yeah)
Fire (Woo, woo, woo)
Fire (Mmm-mmm-mmm)
Fire (Oh, everybody sing)

[Outro: Babyface & Des'ree, Babyface, Des'ree]
When we kiss
I'm on fire
Your tenderness (Tenderness)
Gives me desire
I can't resist (I can't resist)
Your tender lips (Your tender lips)
When we kiss
Ooh (Oh oh yeah)
Fire (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Fire (Ooh, ooh) (Tenderness, tender lips)
Fire (Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
Fire (Oh, now)
When we kiss
I'm on fire
Your tenderness (Your tenderness)
Gives me desire (Gives me desire)
I can't resist (I can't resist)
Your tender lips (Your tender lips)
When we kiss (When we kiss, oh baby)
Ooh (Oh)
Fire (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Fire (Can't resist your tender lips)
Fire (La la la la la)
Fire (Oh, I'm on fire)
Fire (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Fire (Sing it all, sing)
Fire (Sing it, sing it, sing it)
Fire (Woo, sing it all)
Fire

Babyface

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (born April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Grammy Award-winning producer, singer, and songwriter responsible for a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s. He has written and produced more than 20 number-one hits and won 11 Grammys—including three for Producer of the Year—for his work with Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, and Toni Braxton, as well as his own work as an artist.

Babyface got his nickname from funk legend Bootsy Collins after joining his backing band in the 1970s. He joined the group Manchild in the late ‘70s—a group that also included his frequent collaborator Daryl Simmons—before moving out West and working with the group The Deele in the early 1980s, forming a bond with his bandmate and future production partner L.A. Reid. After producing the hit “Two Occasions” for The Deele, L.A. & Babyface broke off and became one of the biggest superproducer duos in R&B, rivaling the hits of fellow superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

L.A. & ‘Face had their hands in a string of #1 R&B hits in the late '80s and early '90s from artists such as Pebbles (“Girlfriend”), Karyn White (“Superwoman”), The Whispers (“Rock Steady”), Johnny Gill (“My, My, My”) and many more. They were also instrumental in the success of post-New Edition era Bobby Brown as they produced his #1 hits “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “On Our Own,” and “Humpin' Around.” They made history with Boyz II Men in 1992 as they wrote and produced “End of the Road,” which spent a record-breaking 14 consecutive weeks atop the pop chart.
