Today's prompt for my writing practice from A Writer's book of Days was the following:
You're Driving in Your Car
Well...immediately my mind went to this song and the album that I nearly wore completely out in the 80s. This song and Slow Hand were "our" songs during that time...and my current boyfriend once drove 2 hours out of the way just to see me when Slow Hand came on the radio. So...the Pointer Sisters and their music has always had a special place in my heart and soul. Below are the lyrics to Fire and below the lyrics is a YouTube video of them singing at EPCOT in 2011.
I hope you enjoy reading the lyrics and listening to the music as much as I always have and that it brings a smile to your face...I know I have been smiling since I first read the prompt this morning.

Always…I wish you peace, joy and happiness, but most of all I wish you Love.
As Ever, Annie

FIRE (Bruce Springsteen)
I'm riding in your car, you turn on the radio
You're pulling me close, I just say no
I say I don't like it, but you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh, fire
Late at night, you're takin' me home
You say you wanna stay, I say I wanna be alone
I say I don't love you, but you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Ohhh, fire
You had a hold on me right from the start
It's a grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin' actin' like a fool
Your kisses they burn, but my heart stays cool
Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah
But baby you can bet their love they couldn't deny
My words say split, but my words they lie
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh, fire
Ooh, fire
Kisses like fire
Burnin' up with fire
I like what you do with my fire
Touchin' me with fire
Touchin' me, burnin' me with fire
Take me home with fire
I'm riding in your car, you turn on the radio
You're pulling me close, I just say no
I say I don't like it, but you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh, fire
Late at night, you're takin' me home
You say you wanna stay, I say I wanna be alone
I say I don't love you, but you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Ohhh, fire
You had a hold on me right from the start
It's a grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin' actin' like a fool
Your kisses they burn, but my heart stays cool
Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah
But baby you can bet their love they couldn't deny
My words say split, but my words they lie
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh, fire
Ooh, fire
Kisses like fire
Burnin' up with fire
I like what you do with my fire
Touchin' me with fire
Touchin' me, burnin' me with fire
Take me home with fire
