Fire (Feat. Babyface) Lyrics
Des’Ree
Lyrics
You're ridin' 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
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh
Fire
Late at night (mm-mm-mm)
You're takin' 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
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh
Fire (whoo)
Fire (na-ah, na-na-na, na, na)
Fire (whoo)
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 my burn
But my heart...
Stays (stays)...
Cool (cool)
Well, Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah
Baby you can bet
They were burnin' with desire
Des'ree-
If I say split
If you say split
Then you know that I'd be lyin'
I know that you'd be lyin'
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh
Fire (ooh, yeah)
Fire
Fire (mm-mm-mm)
Fire
Oh when we kiss
I'm on fire
Your tenderness
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
Fire (oh, oh)
Fire
Des'ree-Can't resist your tender lips
Fire
(La-ah, la-la-la)
Yeah, fire
