We shouldn't be together tonight
But here we are 
I shouldn't taste the thrill of your kiss
Here in the dark
'Cause were not free to be this free or go this far 
Hearts on Fire burnin' for each other

Hearts on Fire burnin' for each other

Goin' down in flames
Somewhere in the night
Stealin' love again when we're together
It's too late now, we cant put it out, hearts on fire

You shouldn't feel this good in my arms, but you do
I shouldn't whisper these things in your ear, there true
So wrong or right, I'll stay tonight with you 
Hearts on Fire burnin' for each other

Eddie Rabbitt

Edward Thomas "Eddie" Rabbitt (November 27, 1941 – May 7, 1998) was an American singer-songwriter and musician. His career began as a songwriter in the late 1960s, springboarding to a recording career after composing hits such as "Kentucky Rain" for Elvis Presley in 1970 and "Pure Love" for Ronnie Milsap in 1974. Later in the 1970s, Rabbitt helped to develop the crossover-influenced sound of country music prevalent in the 1980s with such hits as "Suspicions" and "Every Which Way but Loose." His duets "Friends and Lovers" and "You and I", with Juice Newton and Crystal Gayle respectively, later appeared on the soap operas Days of Our Lives and All My Children. more »
