Running scared Wonderin' what I'm doing so far from home Pretending not to care That I was so alone Then my eyes met hers And without one word I could tell what was gonna happen I could feel it in my bones By the dark of the moon There's a fire in the night She took me to her room Ah you know it felt so right It keeps growing higher The flame of desire By the dark of the moon Ah there's a fire in the night Well she told me She didn't often do this kind of thing She said please hold me Hold me tight so I don't have to think Oh her gentle touch Really moved me so much The flames of love swept over us Like a burning light By the dark of the moon There's a fire in the night She took me to her room Ah you know it felt so right It keeps growing higher The flame of desire By the dark of the moon Mm there's a fire in the night (Fire in the night) By the dark of the moon There's a fire in the night She took me to her room Ah you know it felt so right It keeps growing higher The flame of desire By the dark of the moon Oh there's a fire in the night There's a fire in the night We started a fire Oh There's a fire in the night Oh I'm on fire
