You kindle the fire of love inside me Each time our lips meet I'm not strong when you're around Your kisses make me weak You must know how I feel But do you feel the same Everytime you kiss me You add fuel to the flame My eyes light up when I see you I burn with desire Each time you're near You say it's clear But still I'm not sure Please don't ask me to love you If you're not going to change my name Cause everytime you kiss me You add fuel to the flame The spark of love You started inside me has reached my very soul You're adding fuel to a flame That's already out of control When you give me your name I'll give you everything Yes, everytime you kiss me You add fuel to the flame
