Ooh, you're givin' me the fever tonight I don't want to give in I'd be playin' with fire You forget, I've seen you work before Take 'em straight to the top Leave 'em cryin' for more I've seen you burn 'em before Fire and ice You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and ice I want to give you my love But you'll just take a little piece of my heart You'll just tear it apart Movin' in for the kill tonight You got every advantage when they put out the lights It's not so pretty when it fades away 'Cause it's just an illusion in this passion play I've seen you burn 'em before Fire and ice You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and ice I want to give you my love But you'll just take a little piece of my heart So you think you got it all figured out You're an expert in the field, without a doubt But I know your methods inside and out And I won't be takin' in by fire and ice Fire and ice You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and ice I want to give you my love But you'll just take a little piece of my heart You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and ice I want to give you my love But you'll just take a little piece of my heart You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and ice You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and ice
