Fire

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, 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 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, Fire
