About Fuel to the Flame

"Fuel to the Flame" is a song written by Dolly Parton and her uncle, Bill Owens. It was recorded and released as a single in 1967 by American country artist, Skeeter Davis. The song helped to establish Dolly Parton as a major star in American country music. Along with the success of another song she co-wrote, "Put It Off Until Tomorrow", Parton was able to sign a recording contract with Monument Records as a music artist. "Fuel to the Flame" was recorded at the RCA Victor Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, United States on June 15, 1966, nearly a year before its release. The session was produced by Felton Jarvis. This was one of the first sessions Jarvis would produce by Skeeter Davis. The song was released as a single the following year in January 1967. "Fuel to the Flame" became Davis' first major hit in two years, reaching a peak of number eleven on the Billboard Magazine Hot Country Singles chart. The song was later issued onto Davis' studio album, What Does It Take (To Keep a Man Like You Satisfied). Parton recorded a version of the song herself and included it on her debut album Hello, I'm Dolly. more »

You kindle the fire of love inside me 
Each time our lips meet 
I'm not strong when we're alone 
Your kisses make me weak 
You must know how I feel 
But do you feel the same 
Everytime you kiss me 
You add fuel to the flame 

My eyes light up when I see you 
I burn with desire 
Each time you're near 
You say you'll care 
But still I'm not sure 
But please don't ask me to love you 
If you're not gonna change my name 

Everytime you touch me 
You add fuel to the flame 
This fire you started inside me 
Has reached my very soul 
You're adding fuel to a flame 
That's already burning out of control 
When you give me your name 
I give you everything 
Everytime you kiss me 
Adds fuel to the flame 
Yes everytime you touch me 
You add fuel to the flame
