Don't Start the Fire

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

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

It takes a lot to handle

All the love that I've got

So baby don't start

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-Huh, don't start the fire

If you can't put it out

Ooh, don't start the fire

If you're having any doubts

Some things in life are easy

Others are not

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, no, don't start the fire
