DON’T PLAY WITH FIRE

(Sergio Ala, Clifford Grey)


As recorded by:

V. Sam Browne
Recorded 29th April 1937

Also recorded by:
Bert Firman & His Orchestra



Tell me why you always seem to haunt me
When you fascinate and taunt me
You play with fire
Tell me when you smile do you deceive me
Do you only mean to leave me
With vain desire
Someone’s love some other day may seem divine
It’s such a sin to decline, this love of mine
Tell me why you always seem to haunt me
If you really do not want me
Don’t play with fire.
