Love Is Fire (Love Is Ice)
Gladys Knight · Other Songs - Gladys Knight
We signed no papers
Made an agreement
To put our love away
And I never saw us change
And I never thought we'd end this way
I adjust standing with your suitcase
Walkin' off the door
Tell me how can you be sure?
One day together, next day apart
Seems a little crazy
You break up a lifetime
Break somebody's heart
And you're saying that I changed
But it's you who's wanting something more
Tell me would it all be different
With a wedding ring
Have we messed up everything, I am askin'
Come back baby 'fore you go
Something I still need to know
Flashback to the times
When you haven't taken your love back
Let your heart remember
See the lovers walkin' in the sand
Once I was that girl and you were that man
Love is fire, love is ice
Hold on, baby think twice
Many nights I wonder
Where we went wrong
May be it just happens
Happens till you want to stay together too long
But it seems like such a shame
Can the magic really disappear?
Whenever life was hard
Well, I could come to you
Tell me now what will I do, I am askin'
Come back baby 'fore you go
Something I still need to know
Flashback to the times
When you haven't taken your love back
Let our hearts remember
See the lovers, walkin' in the sand
Once I was that girl and you were that man
Love is fire, love is ice
Hold on, baby think twice
Love is fire, love is ice
Takes you under and it takes you over
Love is fire, love is ice
Takes you under and it takes you over
Love is fire, love is ice
Takes you under and it takes you over
Love is fire, love is ice
Takes you under and it takes you over
Baby now, love is fire, love is ice
Takes you under and it takes you over
Love is fire, love is ice
Takes you under and it takes you over
Baby now, love is fire, love is ice
Takes you under and it takes you over
