-
- I touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flying
- Those devil lips that know so well the art of lying
- And though I see the danger, still the flame grows higher
- I know I must surrender to your kiss of fire
-
- Just like a torch, you set the soul within me burning
- I must go on, I'm on this road of no returning
- And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes
- My whole world crashes without your kiss of fire
-
- I can't resist you, what good is there in trying?
- What good is there denying you're all that I desire?
- Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely
- If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be
- Don't pity me, don't pity me
-
- Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
- Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
- I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
- Though it consumes me, your kiss of fire
-
- <brief instrumental interlude>
-
- Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely
- If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be
- Don't pity me, don't pity me
-
- Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
- Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
- I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
- Though it consumes meàà. your kiss of fire!!!
