[Intro: Elton John & Jennifer Rush]
You're walkin', talkin', like a flame, baby
You're walkin', talkin', like a flame, baby
You're walkin', talkin', like a flame, baby
(You're walkin', you're talkin', you're walkin', you're talkin', ooh)
You're walkin', talkin', like a flame, baby
(You're walkin', you're talkin', you're walkin', you're, oh)

[Verse 1: Elton John]
Never knew what my heart would be facin'
Guess I must have been blind
Sayin' goodbye to you baby
You baby, to, baby, you baby

[Verse 2: Jennifer Rush]
Close my eyes at night, I can taste it
I'm right back in the fire
Where I once had you, baby, ooh baby
You say, "Don't ever leave me"
I say, "That's something I won't do"

[Chorus: Elton John & Jennifer Rush]
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
The flames of paradise
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
The flames of paradise

[Post-Chorus: Elton John & Jennifer Rush]
I give up all of my love just to you
It's been so long, baby
I give you all, my love waits for you
Don't take to long, baby

[Verse 3: Elton John]
I've been makin' some brave conversation
Telling friends I'm way better off without you, baby
You, baby, who, baby, you baby

[Verse 4: Jennifer Rush]
And I was living in my imagination
Thinking I could make it
Without you too, baby, ooh baby

[Pre-Chorus: Elton John & Jennifer Rush]
My heart tried to deceive me
But that's one thing it just can't do

[Chorus: Elton John & Jennifer Rush]
I want you back in my arms, yeah
In the flames of paradise
The flames of paradise
I want you back in my arms, yeah
In the flames of paradise
The flames of paradise

[Post-Chorus: Elton John & Jennifer Rush, Together]
I give up all of my love just to you
It's been so long, baby
I give you all, my love is waiting for you
Don't take too long, baby

[Bridge: Elton John & Jennifer Rush, Together]
(Oh, oh, oh)
Baby, you talkin' like a flame
(Oh, oh, oh)
Oh
You're walkin' like a flame
You said, "Don't ever leave me"
Oh, that's one thing I won't ever do
Oh, baby

[Chorus: Elton John & Jennifer Rush]
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
(The flames) The flames of paradise
I want you back in my arms, baby
In the flames of paradise
The flames of paradise

[Post-Chorus: Elton John & Jennifer Rush]
I give up all of my love just to you
It's been so long, baby
I give you all, my love waits for you
Don't take too long, baby

[Chorus: Elton John & Jennifer Rush]
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
The flames of paradise
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
The flames of paradise
I want you back in my arms, baby
In the flames of paradise
(The flames) The flames of paradise
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
The flames of paradise
