Sailin' away on the crest of a wave It's like magic Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin' And you, and your sweet desire, You took me, higher and higher It's a livin' thing,

My one and only love The blush on your cheek Whenever I speak Tells me that you are my own You fill my eager heart with Such desire Every kiss you give Sets my soul on fire I give myself in sweet surrender

Strike a match and set me on fire Watch it burn and flames getting higher You light me up, sweet old desire So won’t you come close to my fire? Close to my fire Ain’t no need to tell me why Baby, it’s cold when you’re gone Don’t make me wait, wait too

In time you will start to know Your every sweet desire Midnight and the jailer's watching Thin dime can buy a soul Midnight come and get me Justified in satisfying Justified in satisfying your every sweet desire Midnight black cat creeping

Strike a match and set me on fire Watch it burn and flames getting higher You light me up, sweet old desire So won’t you come close to my fire? Close to my fire Ain’t no need to tell me why Baby, it’s cold when you’re gone Don’t make me wait, wait too

It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose And you, and your sweet desire It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose You took me higher and higher, baby Sailin' away on the crest of a wave It's like magic Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin'

Be my love, for no one else can end this yearning This need that you and you alone create Just fill my arms the way you've filled my dreams The dreams that you inspire with ev'ry sweet desire Be my love, and with your kisses set me burning One kiss is
