Lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah

It's crazy

It's crazy

Come on, come on, yeah

I wanna tell you really

Oh, yeah, all I, all I know, yeah

Hey

Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey

Hey-hey, hey-hey

I wanna know, yeah

[Verse 1]

Hey, baby, how you doin' tonight?

I wanna let you know

I wanna tell you just how I feel

I wanna love you, baby

And it's going so right

I wanna burn a candle

Turn the darkness to light

[Chorus]

With the fire we make

It's getting hotter and hotter

Like a moth to a flame

I can't stay away

From the fire we make

It's getting higher and higher

Like the night to the day

I can't stay away

No, no, no

Yeah

No

Oh, yeah

No, no

Stay away

[Verse 2]

Hi baby, won't you tell me the truth?

You wanna be the one

You can't stay away

Oh, hey, darling

Don't you make no excuse

We can chase the sun

And burn the hole inside you

[Chorus]

From the fire we make

It's getting hotter and hotter

Like a moth to a flame

I can't stay away

With the fire we make

It's getting higher and higher

Like the night to the day

I can't stay, I can't stay away

[Bridge]

This abyss of the world

And it takes us to the stars

It's getting higher and higher

[Chorus]

It's the fire we make

It's the fire we make

Getting sweeter and sweeter

Like a night to a day

'Bout to make up these flames

I can't stay away

Say it's, no, no (Yeah)

No, no, no, no

Can't stay away (Baby, can't stay away)

No, no (No, you can't)

No, no (Baby, baby, baby)

No, no

Ah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah (Yeah)

[Outro]

I-I-I-I-I, I

I wanna tell you babe

I gonna love you now

I just wanna stay with you

I can't be done

I just can't stay away

I wanna make so much fire with you, baby

I wanna go, gonna go to you darling, ah (Woo)

I say, yeah, yeah (That's right)
