Fire And Ice
Benatar Pat Lyrics

Ooh, you're givin' me the fever tonight
You're provoking my desire and making me feel passionate tonight

I don't want to give in
I don't want to succumb to your charm and risk getting hurt

I'd be playin' with fire
If I get too involved with you, I know it would be dangerous and potentially harmful

You forget, I've seen you work before
I'm well aware of your methods and tactics, and I won't be easily fooled

Take 'em straight to the top
You're able to quickly rise to the top and impress everyone with your passion and charm

Leave 'em cryin' for more
You typically leave people craving for more of your affection and attention

I've seen you burn 'em before
I've seen you hurt people emotionally with your fire-like passion and then turn cold suddenly

You come on like a flame
You approach relationships with a fiery passion and intensity

Then you turn a cold shoulder
But you can just as easily become distant and indifferent, leaving your partner feeling rejected and hurt

I want to give you my love
Despite knowing your unpredictable nature, I still want to express my love for you

But you'll just take a little piece of my heart
But I know that you'll only take a small part of my heart and likely leave me feeling hurt and rejected

Movin' in for the kill tonight
You have the upper hand tonight, and you're ready to make your move on me

You got every advantage when they put out the lights
You know how to use the darkness to your advantage and can easily manipulate others when they're vulnerable

It's not so pretty when it fades away
But the passion and intensity fades quickly once the relationship loses its novelty and excitement

'Cause it's just an illusion in this passion play
The passion and intensity are just a temporary illusion in the game of love

So you think you got it all figured out
You believe you're an expert in seduction and can easily manipulate people's emotions

You're an expert in the field, without a doubt
You view seduction as a game or a field in which you can excel and win

But I know your methods inside and out
But I'm familiar with your tactics and won't be easily swayed or manipulated

And I won't be takin' in by fire and ice
I won't be fooled by your seductive tactics and won't risk getting hurt by your unpredictable nature
