Fires

Believe me when I tell you this

My affection's dangerous

You should probably walk away

Fire isn't something to play with

What is you're looking for?

Could it be a little more

Love to light your world aflame

Well darlin', I think love is lame so,

Baby, maybe don't start fires

The smoke is rising higher

And lately I'm so tired

Of fires

Baby don't start fires

I can smell the pyre

It's got me feeling wired

And lately I'm so tired

Of fires

Baby don't start fires

When all the dust settles down

There's nothing but ash on the ground

You got too close and now you're burnt

And I just got my feeling hurt

I can be so overwhelming

Suffocate your space with me

Then you avoid having to tell me

That you don't want to stay with me

Well baby, maybe don't start fires

The smoke is rising higher

And lately I'm so tired

Of fires

Baby don't start fires

I can smell the pyre

It's got me feeling wired

And lately I'm so tired

Of fire

Baby don't start fires

(Don't start fires)

And lately I'm so tired

Of fires

Baby, don't start
