Playing With Fire

Old Man Floyd done warned us twice

Don’t let me catch ya’ll messing round that yard of mine

Be careful or you might see what can happen

When you tangle with a old man like me

He said boys your playing with fire

And you best believe it

You’re mamma taught you better, better get your act together

Don’t you know you’re playing with fire

Becky went out looking for a lover

And she knew tonight

An old flame was still burning, poor ol’ Ernie’s heart was yearning

When she caught him in her sights

Boy your playing with fire

And you best believe it

You’re mamma taught you better, better get your act together

Don’t you know you’re playing with fire

Billy left a message for his woman

He said honey, gotta work late tonight

But it was a special occasion, she had dinner waiting

He gonna need a little more than a lotta good luck this time

Boy your playing with fire

And you best believe it

You’re mamma taught you better, better get your act together

Don’t you know you’re playing with fire

By now you’d think we’d learn our lessons

We always try the damnest things in life

That lure of attraction to that sense of disaster

Can ruin best intentions every time

Hey, don’t be playing with fire

And you best believe it

You’re mamma taught you better, better get your act together

Don’t you know you’re playing with fire

Well it seems when you get burned once, it always happens twice

When you’re playing with, don’t be playing with

Don’t you know you’re playing with fire
