Lyrics
Verse 1:
Danger so becomes me I just can't get away
Mama, she always told me, watch! You're gonna get burnt one day
But I dance in the alleys in the shadows of the night
I'm addicted to these streets
And I know that I'm playin' with a flickerin' flame
Heat creepin' up on me, but...
Verse 2:
Step left, step right, creepin' all night
Sweat glowin' on your skin
Win or lose, I think you're bad news, but it's nowhere I've never been
I ain't lookin' for a miracle or Mr. Right
I just know that I wanna get down tonight
I can't help it!
Cuz I know that I'm in love!
Pre-Chorus:
I'm in love with the man with the tiger in his eye
With desire I go Dancin' by the Fire
I'm in love...
Chorus:
It's gettin' hot! (so hot!)
out here!
All night we Dancin by the Fire! Dancin by the Fire!
African Chant:
Ah yo ho ah te
Ah yo ho he ah te
Ah yo ho, Ah yo ho, Ah yo ho ah te
Lelete, Lelete, Lelete, Lelete!
