[Verse 1]
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
Ooooh, Fire

[Verse 2]
Well, late at night
I'm takin' you home
When 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
And when we kiss
Ooooh, Fire
Fire

[Bridge]
You had a hold on me right from the start
It's 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

[Breakdown]
Damn!

[Verse 3]
Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah
Baby, we can bet
Their love they didn't deny
Your words say split
But your words they lie
Cause when we kiss
Mmmmmm, Fire
Fire

[Outro]
Burnin' in my soul
It's outta control
(Fire)

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
