Days of Wine and Roses

When you're smiling

by Teddy Wilson

on Days of Wine and Roses (1963)

I'm ridin' in your car
Ya turn on the radio
You're pullin' me close
I just say no
I say I don't like it
But'cha know I'm a liar

April and Will:
'Cuz when we kiss
Oooooh, fire
Mmm, fire

Late at night

April and Will:
Ooooh, you're takin' me home
You say you wanna stay (April: I wanna stay)
I say I wanna be alone
I say I don't love you
But'cha know I'm a liar 'Cuz when we kiss
Oooooh, fire
Fire

You had a hold on me right from the start
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

Well, Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah

Oh baby you can bet
A love they couldn't deny

My words they say split (Will: Yeah)
But my words may lie (Will: May lie)

April and Will:
'Cuz when we kiss
Oooooh, fire
Uh oh, fire

You had a hold on me right from the start
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, fire
Our kisses like fire
Woah oh oh, fire
Love whatcha doin' now, fire
Touchin' me with fire
Touchin' me, burnin' me
Take me home, fire
Woah oh oh, fire
