 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

 

 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!!!
