Fire
Babyface · Other Songs - Babyface
I'm pulling you closer, you're tellin' no
You say you don't like it, but I know you'rea liar
'Cause when we kiss, ooo fire
Late at night you're taking me home
You say you wanna stay, but I want you to go
I say I don't love you, but you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss, ooo fire, fire, fire
You've had a hold on me right from the start
A grip so tight, I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin', actin' like a fool
Your kisses might burn, but my heart stays cool
Well, Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah
Baby, you can bet they were burning with desire
If I say split, then you'd know I'd be lying
'Cause when we kiss, ooo fire, fire, fire, fire
When we kiss I'm on fire
Your tenderness gives me desire
I can't resist your tender lips
We we kiss, ooo fire
Fire (I can't resist your tender lips)
Fire, fire
When we kiss I'm on fire
Your tenderness gives me desire
I can't resist your tender lips
We we kiss, ooo fire
Fire (I can't resist your tender lips)
Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire
Fire - Babyface
Babyface's 'Fire' stands as a quintessential example of his mid-1990s R&B and soulful pop style, characterized by lush harmonies and emotive vocal delivery. As a solo artist, Babyface often blended his songwriting prowess with his signature smooth vocal performance, creating tracks that balanced commercial appeal with genuine emotional depth. The song reflects the era's focus on romantic themes and polished production, typical of his work during the height of his solo career. It showcases his ability to craft melodies that resonate deeply, often serving as a bridge between his earlier soul-influenced sound and the more polished pop-R&B of the 1990s. The recording exemplifies the collaborative spirit of the time, where artists like Babyface frequently worked with other vocalists to create layered, rich soundscapes that defined the genre's evolution.
