I'm playing with fire, I'm gonna get burned
I know it but what can I do
I know my heart must be content to go
Where it is sent, although
I may repent when I'm through
But what can I do
I'm playing with fire, I'm gonna get burned
While merry-go-rounding with you
But I go for my ride with my eyes open wide
I'm playing with fire, I know it but what can I do.
(you're playing with fire)
But what can I do
(you're crazy to play with  fire,
leave it severely alone)
