G. Vilodo and English Words by Lester Allen and Robert HillI touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flyingThose devil lips that know so well the art of lyingAnd though I see the danger, still the flame grows higherI know I must surrender to your kiss of fireJust like a torch, you set the soul within me burningI must go on, I'm on this road of no returningAnd though it burns me and it turns me into ashesMy whole world crashes without your kiss of fireI 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 completelyIf I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to beDon't pity me, don't pity meGive me your lips, the lips you only let me borrowLove me tonight and let the devil take tomorrowI know that I must have your kiss although it dooms meThough it consumes me, your kiss of fireSince first I kissed you my heart was yours completelyIf I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to beDon't pity me, don't pity meGive me your lips, the lips you only let me borrowLove me tonight and let the devil take tomorrowI know that I must have your kiss although it dooms meThough it consumes me……. your kiss of fire!!!Transcribed by Robin HoodThese lyrics were transcribed from the specific recording mentioned aboveand do not necessarily correspond with lyrics from other recordings, sheetmusic, songbooks or lyrics printed on album jackets.
