Kisses Of Fire – ABBA

Kisses Of Fire Lyrics

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

Kisses of fire, burning, burning

I'm at the point of no returning

Kisses of fire, sweet devotions

Caught in a land-slide 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

Kisses of fire

Kisses of fire

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 fate and to me it's new

Never before did you see me begging for more

Kisses of fire, burning, burning

I'm at the point of no returning

Kisses of fire, sweet devotions

Caught in a land-slide 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

Kisses of fire

Kisses of fire

Kisses of fire, burning, burning

I'm at the point of no returning

Kisses of fire, sweet devotions

Caught in a land-slide 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 land-slide of emotions)

Kisses of fire, burning, burning

I'm at the point of no returning

Kisses of fire, sweet devotions

Caught in a land-slide of emotions

Exploring the Passionate World of “Kisses Of Fire”

A Blaze of Emotion and Desire

“Kisses Of Fire” captures the intensity and excitement of a love so powerful it feels almost overwhelming. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of passionate affection, where every kiss feels like a spark igniting a fire within. The singer expresses how these kisses bring about an emotional rush, describing the sensation as a “land-slide of emotions” and confessing that no previous love affair compares to this experience.

Vulnerability and the Fear of Loss

Beneath the fiery passion, there is also a sense of vulnerability. The lyrics reveal a fear of losing this love, with lines like “Losing you is a nightmare fate and to me it’s new.” The singer admits to feeling safe and a sense of belonging when with their partner, yet the intensity of their emotions is also a source of anxiety. This duality—exhilaration mixed with apprehension—adds depth to the song’s portrayal of romance.

Irresistible Devotion

The singer is “at the point of no returning,” fully immersed in their feelings and swept away by love. The song celebrates devotion, intimacy, and the transformative power of genuine connection, where every touch and kiss means something extraordinary.
