Fire in the Basement

I came 'round to your front door, your back door was locked

Pushed your button, rang your bell, you didn't hear me knock

Oh baby I saw your window open wide, so I crawled inside

I ran to the top floor, but you were on the ground

I was on my way up and you were going down

Fire in the basement

Burn me up, scream and shout

There's fire in the basement

Only you can put it out

This strange sensation that I'm going through

Sweet infatuation when I get next to you

I know what it takes to be a man, you understand

'Cause when the sparks start flying you'll never be the same

You know I'll hate to leave you girl but I'm so glad I came

Fire in the basement

Burn me up, scream and shout

Fire in the basement

Only you can put it out

Alright

Fire in the basement

Burn me up, scream and shout

Fire in the basement

Only you can put it out

Smoky eyes burning bright

Innocence lost, satisfy my appetite

Oh baby surrender to the flame, what's your name

Let's get down to business, how can you refuse

Give this boy a helping hand, come on light my fuse

Fire in the basement

Burn me up, scream and shout

Fire in the basement

Only you can put it out

Fire in the basement

Burn me up, scream and shout

Fire in the basement

Only you can put it out oh babe

"Hey you gotta match?"
