Bruce Springsteen - Fire Lyrics and Youtube Music VideosAlbum:
Live 1975-1985 Released:
1986 I'm driving in my car, I turn on the radio
I'm pulling you close, you just say no
You say you don't like it, but girl I know you're a liar
'Cause when we kiss,
FireLate at night I'm takin' you home
I say I want to stay, you say you want to be alone
You say you don't love me, girl you can't hide your desire
'Cause when we kiss, Fire
You had a hold on me, right from the start
A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin' actin' like a fool
Well your kisses they burn but your heart stays cool
Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah
Baby you can bet their love they didn't deny
Your words say split but your words they lie
'Cause when we kiss, Fire

LyricFindFire Song Chart Springsteen wrote this for Elvis Presley, his idol growing up. He sent Elvis a demo of it in 1977, but Presley died soon after. The song would have fit well for Elvis, as it's about a passionate lust a couple has for each other. Springsteen wrote this while he was waiting out litigation with his former manager. He couldn't record his own songs, but still did plenty of writing. The singer Robert Gordon, who was a friend of Springsteen, was the first to record this - he released it on his 1978 album Fresh Fish Special. The song became a hit when the Pointer Sisters recorded it later in 1978 at the suggestion of their producer Richard Perry, their version hitting #2 in the US. While many people who heard this song knew it had hit potential, Springsteen did not release it until 1986, as he was more concerned with the continuity of his albums than making hit records. Springsteen's version was included on his boxed set, Live 1975-1985. It was released as a single when the set came out. Springsteen considered using this on Darkness On The Edge Of Town and The River, but decided it did not fit the mood of either album.
