Hoop of Fire

You say that all you want are the simple things Long walks on lonely beaches, guitars with nylon strings But underneath, you'd rather leap through a hoop of fire You shy away (shy away) from lips that want (the lips that want) That want to kiss you Tongue-tied on formal evenings (ooh), wealth don't impress you (ooh) But if you ask me, you like the heat in a hoop of fire And it's hard to read just how you feel or what your dreams desire Your pulse that races when I'm close reads like a hoop of fire (ooh, ooh, ooh) Your pulse that races when I'm close reads like a hoop of fire No late nights (no, no late nights) Making love (making love) in secret places You feel pressure all around you, mistrust in strangers' faces But don't pretend you wouldn't spend some time in a hoop of fire And it's hard to read just how you feel or what your dreams desire Your pulse that races when I'm close reads like a hoop of fire (ooh, ooh, ooh) Your pulse that races when I'm close reads like a hoop of fire But don't pretend you wouldn't spend some time in a hoop of fire And it's hard to read just how you feel or what your dreams desire Your pulse that races when I'm close reads like a hoop of fire (hoop of fire) Your pulse that races when I'm close reads like a hoop of fire (hoop of fire) Your pulse that races when I'm close reads like a hoop of fire
