Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I touch your lips, and all at once the sparks go flying
Those devil lips that know so well the art of lying
And tho’ I see the dancer, 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 along this road of no returning
And tho’ 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
Tho’ it consumes me, Your kiss of fire
