I understand your current flame
Is dancing in the wind
In fact I’ve heard it’s all but flickered out
Now when you’re standing in the darkness
With your heart held in your hands
I know you think I’ll take you back, no doubt
 

But fire after fire
You've watched em' all go up in smoke
And liar after liar
The truth was never spoke
A girl with your desires
Should find a lesson she could learn
Like when you start so many flames
You're gonna burn
 

I wish for you the very best
But there’ll be no helping hand
Your needs are more than I can understand
So just take your book of matches
And start another flame
Because the love I had for you won’t burn again

But fire after fire
You've watched em' all go up in smoke
And liar after liar
The truth was never spoke
A girl with your desires
Should find a lesson she could learn
Like when you start so many flames
It's gonna burn

Yes, a girl with your desires
Should find a lesson she could learn
Like when you start so many flames
You're gonna burn
