(Harvey Fuqua/Robert 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
