[Intro]
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Late at night
You're takin' me home
You say you want to stay
I say I want to be alone
I say I don't love you
But you know I'm a liar
Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire
[Bridge]
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...
{Pause}
[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
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...
[Outro]
Oh 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
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Late at night
You're takin' me home
You say you want to stay
I say I want to be alone
I say I don't love you
But you know I'm a liar
Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire
[Bridge]
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...
{Pause}
[Verse 3]
Well, Romeo and Juliet

[Outro]
Oh 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
