Lyrics

Intro
[Single dirty guitar note → slow, heavy riff]
Your friends warned you about me.
Smart friends.
You should've listened.
Verse 1
You heard the stories before we met,
Every little warning painted me red.
They said, "She's trouble, don't get too close,
She'll leave you wanting what you shouldn't want most."
But there you were
With that fearless grin,
Walking toward the flame
Like you planned to jump in.
I gave you every chance
To turn around—
You just smiled
And said,
"Burn it down."
Pre-Chorus
Don't call me dangerous
Like you didn't know.
I never hid the matches.
You're the one
Who struck 'em, boy.
Chorus
You wanna play with fire?
Come on,
Strike the match.
You want a little danger?
Baby, I can give you that.
But don't blame the flame
When the heat gets higher.
Don't reach for me
If you're scared to burn.
You knew exactly
What you desired.
So come a little closer...
If you wanna
play with fire.
Verse 2
Now you're standing
Inside my space,
Got that little bit of trouble
Written all over your face.
You say,
"Maybe everybody had you wrong."
I laugh.
"Baby, don't count on it."
Your hand finds mine,
My pulse kicks hard.
We're already somewhere
We shouldn't have gone.
You whisper,
"Should I stop?"
I pull you closer.
"Do you want to?"
Pre-Chorus
You came looking
For something wild.
Don't start getting careful
Now, baby.
That ain't your style.
Chorus
You wanna play with fire?
Come on,
Strike the match.
You want a little danger?
Baby, I can give you that.
But don't blame the flame
When the heat gets higher.
Don't reach for me
If you're scared to burn.
You knew exactly
What you desired.
So come a little closer...
If you wanna
play with fire.
Guitar Solo
[Slow blues bends → wah guitar → heavy screaming lead → sustained feedback]
Bridge
[Bass groove and kick drum]
I never promised heaven.
Never played innocent.
Never said tomorrow
Would make any sense.
I'm not your angel.
I'm not your cure.
But if you're looking
For something you'll remember...
Baby—
I'm pretty damn sure.
Breakdown
[Everything drops except low guitar]
One spark.
One touch.
One bad decision.
That's enough.
Build
You can still walk away.
...
Why aren't you moving?
Heavy Breakdown
[Full guitar riff slams in]
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
Final Chorus
You wanna PLAY WITH FIRE?!
Then baby,
Come get burned!
You walked straight into my flames
After every lesson you learned!
You wanted danger!
You wanted desire!
You wanted something
That would take you higher!
So don't say my name
Like I'm the one to blame—
When you're the one
Who started this fire!
Come closer!
Get reckless!
Forget everything
You thought you knew!
You wanted to
PLAY WITH FIRE—
Now the fire's
Playing with you.
Post-Chorus
PLAY!
With fire!
BURN!
A little higher!
PLAY!
With fire!
You wanted the heat—
Now don't you run.
Outro
[Dirty guitar riff slowly fades]
Still think you can handle me?
...
We'll see.
