Ring Of Fire

Olivia Newton-John · Making a Good Thing Better [1977]

Love is a burnin' thing

And it makes a fiery ring

Bound by wild desire

I fell into a ring of fire

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire

I went down down down and the flames went higher

And it burns burns burns the ring of fire

The ring of fire

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire

I went down down down and the flames went higher

And it burns burns burns the ring of fire

The ring of fire

The taste of love is sweet

When hearts like ours meet

I fell for you like a child

Oooh but the fire went wild

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire

I went down down down and the flames went higher

And it burns burns burns the ring of fire

The ring of fire

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire

I went down down down and the flames went higher

And it burns burns burns the ring of fire

The ring of fire
