John Elton - Hoop Of Fire-Elton John Bernie Taupin Lyrics

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 from lips that want, that want to kiss you

Tongue-tied on formal evenings, wealth don't impress you

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

Your pulse that races when I'm close reads like a hoop of fire



No late nights 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



But don't pretend you wouldn't spend some time in a hoop of fire
