Outside your oriental gate
Wonderin' if it's too late
To wait for you to come walking up your drive
August night blowing breezy cool
I feel like a damn fool
'Cause I got a good woman cryin' at home in bed

But there's a fire burning in my soul
You are a water, clear and cold
Baby, I'm thirsty

(Ain't no amount of water gonna put out the fire, babe)
Gonna lay with you tonight
(I've got to follow that devil desire)
No matter if it's wrong or right
(I'm still not sure I can live in a lie)
Give me a sign so there'll be no chance of changin' my mind

Oh, I'm bound to bend or surely break
It might be a mistake, but I've gone too far
Lady, to turn back now
Just swing wide your oriental gate
Lead me to my fate
Tonight a flood's gonna drown the flame

That fire burning in my soul
Raging all out of control
Baby, I'm thirsty
(Ain't no water gonna put out the fire)
Gonna stay with you tonight
(I've got to follow that devil desire)
No matter if it's wrong or right
(I'm still not sure I can live in a lie)
Give me a sign so there'll be no chance of changin' my mind (No chance)
No chance of changin' (Changin' my mind)
No chance of changin' my mind (There'll be no chance)
There'll be no chance of changin'
My mind
