Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Whoa, love, oh love is a burning thing
Yes it is
And it makes, you know it makes a fiery ring
Girl, you know I'm bound
Bound
Bound, I'm bound by wild desire
That's what you do to me, girl
Because I done fell
I fell into your ring of fire
You got me, baby
[Verse 2]
I fell into the burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And, oh, the flame went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
Your ring of fire
[Verse 3]
Girl, you know the taste of love is sweet
Ain't it sweet, baby?
When two hearts
Two hearts like ours meet
Listen, girl
I done fell
I done fell, I done fell
I done fell for you like a child
Like a little picky baby
But oh, oh, oh, that doggone fire went wild
Ain't it a crazy thing?
[Verse 4]
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
You know the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
Your ring of fire
[Verse 5]
Burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
That ring of fire
[Verse 6]
Burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
Your ring of fire burns
