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

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

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

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

Still don't know what love means La la la lala lala Cocaine flame in my bloodstream Sold my coat when I hit Spokane It's too late And I found myself face down in the ditch Booze in my hair, blood on my lips A picture of you holding a picture of me

Tonight your memory burns like a fire With everyone it grows higher and higher I can't get over it, I just can't put out this love I just sit in these flames and pray that you'll come back Close my eyes tightly, hold on and hope that I'm dreaming Come

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

Surrender to nothing Run as far as you can Hold on to what I believe in But my heart Compassion confession Resolve and compromise Dedication domination Please define the lines

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
