An American band called Foxy laid down the backing tracks to what eventually became “Kisses of Fire” and “If It Wasn’t for the Nights”. It is uncertain how much of these early recordings were retained.
“Kisses of Fire” was released as the B-side to the single “Does Your Mother Know” in April 1979,...
[Verse 1]
Lay your head on my chest so you hear every beat of my heart
Now there's nothing at all that can keep us apart
Touch my lips, close your eyes and see with your fingertips
Things that you do, and you know I'm crazy 'bout you
[Chorus]
Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a landslide of emotions
I've had my share of love affairs
But they were nothing compared to this
Oh, I'm riding higher than the sky
And there is fire in every kiss
[Post-Chorus]
Kisses of fire
Kisses of fire
[Verse 2]
When you sleep by my side I feel safe and I know I belong
Still, it's making me scared that my love is so strong
Losing you is a nightmare, baby, and to me it's new
Never before did you see me begging for more
[Chorus]
Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a landslide of emotions
I've had my share of love affairs
But they were nothing compared to this
Oh, I'm riding higher than the sky
And there is fire in every kiss
[Post-Chorus]
Kisses of fire
Kisses of fire
[Outro]
Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a landslide of emotions
Kisses of fire, burning, burning
(I'm at the point of no returning)
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
I'm riding higher than the sky
And there is fire in every kiss
(Caught in a landslide of emotions)
Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a landslide of emotions
Kisses of fire, burning, burning...
