Lyrics: Verse 1:
Refrain: Repeat Refrain: Verse 2: Refrain: Closing Refrain: |
Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring Bound by wild desire I fell in to a ring of fire I fell into a burning ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire The ring of fire The taste of love is sweet When hearts like ours meet I fell for you like a child Oh, but the fire went wild I fell in to a burning ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire The ring of fire And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire The ring of fire |
