Elton John - Hoop of Fire 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

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
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

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
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
