Love is a burning thing Love is a burning thing Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring bound by wild desire (Chorus) I fell into a ring of fire I fell into, a burning ring of fire I went down, down, down, and the flames went higher and it burns, burns, burns the ring of fire, the ring of fire (Chorus Repeat) The taste of love is sweet When hearts, like ours meet I feel for you like a child Oh but the fire went wild (Chorus Repeat Twice) Anita Carter Version Love is a burning flame and it makes a fiery ring bringing hurt to the heart's desire I fell in the ring of fire I fell into, into the burning ring of fire I fell down, down, down, down into the deepest mire and it burns, burns, burns, burns the ring of fire, the ring of fire, the ring of fire The taste of love is sweet When two fiery hearts meet I believed you like a child Oh but the fire went wild
