Love Is Fire
Hall And Oates · Other Songs - Hall And Oates
When we realize and understand
That we've come so far
Destiny lies close to home
L will do what l can
To keep my spirit safe and strong
If I fall on the way
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Chorus
Love is fire
Hate is stone
We desire
What we can't hold (oh no)
When there's anger
(outa) outa control
Hate is fire
Love is stone
Time deals it's hand
How can we live in tenderness?
When the world seems so cold
To those who choose to take a stand!
Ooo, if l refuse to walk the line (walk the line)
Or see my dreams through someone's eyes
(you know that) i'ii take that chance
¡®cause nothing ever stays the same
Love is fire
Hate is stone
We desire
Ooo, what we can't hold
When there's anger
(outa) outa control
Hate is fire, ooo
Love is stone
Love is fire
Hate is stone
We desire
What we cannot hold
When there's anger
(outa) outa control yeh
Hate is fire
Love, love is stone
(you know that) love is fire
(I need to know you'ii see me through)
Hate is stone
(doesn't matter what we choose to do)
We desire,
Ooo, what we can't hold
When there's anger
Runnin' out of control
Hate is fire
Love, now iove is stone
Love is fire
Hate is stone
We desire
What we cannot seem to hold
When there's anger
It's runnin', runnin' out of control
Hate is fire
Love is stone
