Well, I met her downtown   I think we'd spoken   I think we'd spoken once before   The sound was loud      I said, "Yeah", I said, "Yeah, give me more"   And something deep inside   Started engines of desire   And you know there ain't a chance of stopping love      Love like fire   Love like fire      She was great, so great to be with   I felt so good when she was there   My time was coming at me   And I swore I'd never care      And I thought there ain't nothing else   All the poets here are liars   When you're chasing something real   You get burnt by      Love like fire   Love like fire      I thought she likes the rest   And I know I'm in control   I can take it or I can leave it   You can forget that lovers role      The world you thought you knew   Gets strangled by the wire   And you crash while running blind   Destroyed by love      Love like fire   Love like fire   Love like fire
