The night is ending As the final record spins Emotions heat the dark As the rhythm moves within I hear a voice and turn around You ask to dance But can't conceal, your eyes reveal Your true intentions Don't start, don't start the fire If you can't put it out Oh, don't start the fire If you're having any doubts You pull me close into your arms And whisper let's go Find us a private place And turn the lights down low Running the thoughts of you and me Around in my mind I realize that you might be Just what I am needing Don't start, don't start the fire If you can't put it out Don't start the fire If you're having any doubts Some things in life are easy Others are not, yeah It takes a lot to handle All the love that I've got So, baby, don't start Don't start the fire If you can't put it out, ooh! Don't start the fire If you're having any doubts Uh-uh, don't start the fire If you can't put it out, ooh-ooh... Don't start the fire If you're having any doubts Some things in life are easy Others are not, yeah It takes a lot to handle All the love that I've got So, baby, don't you start Don't start the fire No, don't, don't start the fire
