[Verse 1]
In the night, it enchants me
Thoughts of her silky skin
There's a lightness of touch where
She ends and where I'll begin
I'll be damned in the morning
At least that is what they say
I'm a sinner, yes, a prisoner
To the kiss of a burning flame

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll burn at the stake
My heart in my hand, a venomous snake
Wrapped in the curve of my waist
I'd do it again, just give me a taste
Know why I feel this way
But, oh, just the thought of a lick of the fire
Could cure me of anything
I'll take all of your shame

[Chorus]
Baby, take me higher
Soak me in desire
Won't you light my fire?
Make sure you keep me burnin'
So I know for certain
We were always worth it in the end
[Verse 2]
By the light of the morning
I bow my head to pray
I feel the spirit, it invokes me
As I worship where she lays
There's a faint, hollow moaning
Staring around the room
From the lips of an angel
At the turn of the afternoon

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'll burn at the stake
My heart in my hand, the kiss of a snake
She keeps me in this state
And I'd do it again, just give me a taste
Know why I feel this way
Oh, just the thought of a lick of the fire
Could cure me of anything
I'll take all of your shame

[Chorus]
Baby, take me higher
Soak me in desire
Won't you light my fire?
Make sure you keep me burnin'
So I know for certain
We were always worth it in the end
[Bridge]
Baby, take me
Ta-ta-ta-ta, take me
Ta-ta, take me higher, higher
Hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi

[Breakdown]
Take me higher
Soak me in desire
Won't you light my fire? (Ooh, yeah)
Make sure you keep me burnin'
So I know for certain
We were always worth it in the end

[Chorus]
Baby, take me higher
Soak me in desire
Won't you light my fire?
Make sure you keep me burnin'
So I know for certain
We were always worth it in the end
