Ooo, you’re givin’ me the fever tonight
I don’t wanna give in
I’d be playin’ with fire
You forget, I’ve seen you work before
Take `em straight to the top
Leave `em cryin’ for more
I’ve seen you burn `em before
Chorus:
Fire and Ice
You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and Ice
I wanna give you my love
But you’ll just take a little piece of my heart
You’ll just tear it apart
Movin’ in for the kill tonight
You got every advantage when they put out the lights
It’s not so pretty when it fades away
Cause it’s just an illusion in this passion play
I’ve seen you burn `em before
(Chorus)
So you think you got it all figured out
You’re an expert in the field, without a doubt
But I know your methods inside and out
And I won’t be takin’ in by Fire and Ice
(Chorus)
You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and Ice
I wanna give you my love
But you’ll just take a little piece of my heart
You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and Ice
You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and Ice

Highest debut in the Hot 100 on July 18, 1981 at #64.
Biggest mover on the chart (to #44) the next week. - Pat: I rewrote the bridge on that song. The melody was pretty far out. When you can sing a lot of different ranges, you just keep trying to find stuff that keeps you interested.
Neil: Some days her voice is so bright that we used a Sony condenser mic on her for one song and it sounded great. We tried it the next day and it was as thin as ever.
