Pointer Sisters, The - I Want Fireworks Lyrics






I've never believed in smooth sailing
After every high waits a storm
We've both been out in the cold before
to come back and make each other warm

Please spare me monotony
And surprise me with each day

[Chorus:]
I want fireworks
I want the whole shebang
Come on and kiss me
like the first time
Over and over again
Strike me with cold, blue lightning
Make me tremble like a quake
Oh hold me, baby, tighter
Don't worry, I won't break

I know there's no love without crying
Good and bad live door to door
We both have stepped on each other's heart
But God knows our love is getting more

Please spare me monotony
And surprise me with each day

[Chorus]

I am addicted to dangerous fire
when sparks are flying
Blood rushing faster,
the whole world is spinning
and love's worth dying for

[Chorus]

Pointer Sisters, The I Want Fireworks Comments
  1. L.... M....

    It's a good version but I prefer Elmer Fudd's version.

  2. A.... J....

    I was 5 years old singing this song...not knowing what I was singing...in mamas 1978 mint green Buick LeSabre.....

  3. S.... W....

    They took all of Springsteen coolness out of his song and made it mediocre. Lame cover!

  4. D.... A....

    Too good. 1:55 is the bomb

  5. T.... F....

    Of all the songs of the seventies this one just defines my childhood this and if I can't have you by Yvonne Elliman. But this song Especially.

  6. R.... W....

    Oh yess.. Raunchy..

  7. M.... ....

    With all respects, these girls still light my disco fire, ready to dance and charm. They lighted a fire i in my young heart. And still do. Thank you ladies!!!!

  8. P.... S....

    Brilliant song

  9. T.... K....

    Not bad but its beyond me how people prefer this to the original.

  10. B.... t....

    I literally just found out this was written by Springsteen. It seems so obvious now.

  11. W.... ....

    zegt me niks

  12. s.... ....

    The Pointers made this classic Springsteen song their own. R.I.P. June my beautiful nubian Queen

  13. J.... L....

    they need to be in the rock and roll hall of fame

  14. E.... D....

    How the hell do you downvote this classic.

  15. w.... V....

    Back in the days when songs still had a tekst...and not just 4 letter words and noises..

  16. H.... ....

    DJ Boemerang - Fire ft. Pointer Sisters

  18. P.... D....

    I am 28, my other half is 36 and healthy (he died 26 years later.) Life is good, Americans are still kind and decent, HIV does not cast its sable shadow for a couple of years...

  19. S.... ....

  20. e.... ....

    Ok, the ladys can realy start a fire. Thanks for posting

  26. C.... W....

    So many versions of this
    song. But I have always
    felt the Pointer Sisters
    do it justice.

  34. T.... O....

    so much talent these Pointer sisters, they could sing everything, their energy and voices and harmonies heavenly

  35. C.... R....

    On of my all time favorite songs! These ladies were so smooth- I love their voices! There is so much potential with the new artists today, but they ruin their talent on singing about dope, revenge, greed and give an anatomy and physiology lesson in the most vulgar of ways.

  36. K.... B....

    Matt 3:12

  37. M.... E....

    Yo!!!!
    The guitar is awesome.. not to mention...the lyrics!!!
    Yesss!!!!

  38. M.... A....

    2k19 ❤

  39. G.... B....

    I believe this song was meant for the Pointer Sister, even if it was written for Elvis. This song is amazing!

  40. w.... j....

    you girls are the best. you sing from the heart.

  41. M.... i....

    Always loved this track... from a time before acts had traded their soul and talent for looking like cheap bedraggled whores “singing” through auto-tuners and having to have endless boobjobs and 20 backing-dancers on stage and in their preposterous multi-million dollar musicvideos.
    I once saw the Pointer Sisters live... many, many years ago... something went wrong with the PA and they did all the rest a capella... and people in the back of the hall could actually hear them... loud and clear. Such troupers.

  42. 4.... ....

    As a kid growing up in the 70’s. I remember my parents listening to this song and many others. They are both gone now. If I could just turn back the clock for about an hour or so .

  43. L.... S....

    them Pastor daughters church girls are always the wildest freakiest bad girls... : I know

  44. D.... ....

    Amazing song! Wonderful performance❤

  45. E.... T....

    What a team!! Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Presley!! And though Bruce wrote it for the King, due to his unforseen death, these three sisters made sure that the message, passion and obviously Fire of this song got straight to the point...

  46. C.... W....

    40yrs later...

  47. R.... M....

  65. J.... D....

    Whenever my family went to Anna's Pizza in Hampton, VA, my father would let each of us kids pick a song on the jukebox. This was the song that I always picked. I had to be in 2nd or 3rd grade. I still love it.

    W.... W....

    @Ray Lomas

  90. r.... r....

    Браво!!

  91. L.... G....

    This has long been one of my favorites. I also like Blinded by the Light (Manfred Mann). *The only one who records crappy versions of Springsteen songs is Bruce himself.* Sorry.

    L.... G....

    Those two songs were turned mainstream copies of every other song popular in that decade and thus reached high popularity. You never heard any other Bruce song but think you`re capable of making conclusions. People like you are the reason world is full of shitty pop songs that sound the same these days... Stay quiet if you lack knowledge!

  92. M.... R....

    Awakens a fire in everyone who's not dead yet. The best.

  93. R.... G....

    Love the way bruce did this on mtv show unplugged.

  94. D.... P....

    Great song. Love the video

  95. K.... M....

    Real nice mix reminds me of my younger years and old memories. Thanks for sharing your mix and keep up the great work in putting the together MrElfgard
