(Love’s) Ring of Fire Lyrics
Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring
Bringing hurt to the heart's desire I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into into the burning ring of fire
I fell down down down down into the deepest mire
And it burns burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire
The ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet when two very hearts meet
I believed you like a child oh but the fire went wild
I fell into into the burning ring of fire
Bringing hurt to the heart's desire I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into into the burning ring of fire
I fell down down down down into the deepest mire
And it burns burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire
The ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet when two very hearts meet
I believed you like a child oh but the fire went wild
I fell into into the burning ring of fire
