(Harvey FuquaRobert Gordy)



When you first gave it to me

Your sweet kiss of fire

The burning flame of love

Started mounting higher

Till it consumed my heart and soul

And like King Midas loved his gold

I wanted you alone to hold

And your kiss of fire

Your sweet kiss of fire

Your sweet kiss of fire



And then you took it away

Your sweet kiss of fire

Taking the thrill out of love

Killing my desire

I'm like a leaf without a tree

Like a fish without the sea

I'm as cold as cold can be

Without your kiss of fire

Your sweet kiss of fire

Your sweet kiss of fire



Please don't forsake me

After showing me the way to love

Just come on and make me

Warm as the sun that shines above



Bring it, bring it to me

Your sweet kiss of fire

Stop this hurt within me

Bring back my desire

It's you that I adore

I'll do anything you implore

If you'll just give to me once more

Your sweet kiss of fire

Your sweet kiss of fire

Fire, fire
