First time you held me, it felt too good, I didn't wanna want you so much

Now you're tryna tell me you don't think we should, and I'm tryna live without your touch

Most people say it's the other way around, the woman is usually the teese

But you seem content to remain safe and sound, but I'm not so easy to please

You're playing it safe in a dangerous place, your head down, afraid to go high

You might believe that your body will be safe, but your soul will be lost in the fire

I know all about self-preservation, I bragged this, said too many years

For the love that's without reservation is worth all about in a day

You think what you got is a lifeline, a shield from a world full of pain

If you take a good look, well, I think you might find what you thought is all gone in a tray

You're playing it safe in a dangerous place, you best not believe in desire

You might believe that your body will be safe, but your soul will be lost in the fire

You think the law is a weapon

You got your back to the wall

You think something terrible might happen

But it already has, and it wasn't so bad

Don't tell me you wish things were different

Don't say you're afraid you might fall

If you're too afraid, gave in to be scared

You shouldn't have come here at all

Loving is war, and it's peace

It's a battle round, well for the throne

It's finally there, and you see, yeah

And the lord has a plan for you after all

You're playing it safe in a dangerous place, your head down, afraid to go higher

You might believe that your body will be safe, but your soul will be lost in the fire

Oh, you're playing it safe in a dangerous place, you best not believe in desire

You might believe that your body will be safe, but your soul will be lost in the fire
