Lyrics

Low embers burn
through your disguise.
I can’t stop lookin’ in your eyes.

Lord, I won’t blink
until a spark
leaps from your heat into my heart.

’Cuz I am a child who plays with fire.
And, there’s just no hidin’ my desire.

I came to you
pious and true.
Now, you’re the Beast who wants me, too.

Who holds the torch
deep down in me?
Love, light the flame of ecstasy.

’Cuz I am a child who plays with fire.
And, there’s just no hidin’ my desire.

Some say that tears
wash clean a soul.
But, heaven’s a blaze I can’t control.

’Cuz I am a child who plays with fire.
And, there’s just no hidin’ my desire.

Yes, I am a child who plays with fire.
And, there’s just no hidin’ my desire.
