Fire We Make

Alicia Keys · Girl On Fire [2012]

Ah, it's crazy, it's crazy, come on, come on

I wonder do you really, oh yeah, wanna know yeah

I wanna know yeah, oh oh



Hey baby, how you doing 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



With 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 away, no no no (yeah)

Stay away...



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 a hole inside your love



With 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



This invisible portal, it takes us to the stars

It's getting higher and higher

It's the fire we make, it's the fire we make

Getting sweeter, and sweeter

Like a night to a day

About to make up this flame

I can't stay away, say it, no no (yeah) no no no

Can't stay away, no no no



I wanna tell you babe, I gotta let you know

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

I say yeah yeah
