Hold the phone You got me foamin' at the knees Saw the flame tasted sin You burned me once again Cut the cord, she's a creep I've been tryin' real hard

Hold the phone Got me foaming at the knees Saw the flame, tasted sin You burned me once again Cut the cord, she's a creep Way back way back way back I've been trying real hard

But no flame burns forever, oh no You and I both know this all too well And most don't even last the night One last time Just one last time With the twilight No they don't, they say they don't Without holding back my mind Oh babe, meet me in Tompkins

When you meet a boy That you like a lot And you fall in love But he loves you not If a flame should start When he holds you near Better keep your heart Out of danger dear For the way of love

A spirit with a vision Is a dream with a mission Hold your fire Keep it burning bright Hold the flame 'Til the dream ignites Is a dream with a mission I hear their passionate music Read the words

It just gets all the way to me It ain't like smoke gets in your clothes Naw, it cuts through my skin and digs in way down deep Soaks in like rain Burns like a flame Takes ahold of my soul underneath Something 'bout George Jones on the headphones Truth

You touch me like a razor blade I wish there was some other way right now, oh oh Like a house on fire we're up in flames I'd burn here if that's what it takes To let you know I won't let go of you, oh oh Of you (oh oh) So I'll just hold you like a hand

The smoking gun is what I’ve found The dirt I have on you is the ground Wish that I didn’t have to see a confidant as an enemy Now the truth is a ball and chain Holding my conscience to the flame Covered up, but still I know The secret of the life you’re

But no flame burns forever, oh no You and I both know this all too well And most don't even last the night One last time Just one last time With the twilight No they don't, they say they don't Without holding back my mind Oh babe, meet me in Tompkins

I don't know, why I don't Put it out baby We kiss and the flames Just get higher But yeah I know When I hold onto you baby I'm all tangled up in barbed wire I get burned, I don't learn I'll be back, give it time
