The Fire

I was datin' a lawyer with a gentleman nature

Says, "She ain't nothin' like me"

There's fire and there's water

And all I can offer is a temperament that he don't need

So he's makin' his rounds with a well-bred intent

Safe and out of harm

He can say what he likes, water is nice

But it's fire that keeps you warm

Maybe you're rough around the edges

And stubborn to a fault

Maybe I'm just a little too blonde-headed

Stiff-backboned and all

Maybe I'm passionate

About being passionate

Say what you like boy, water is nice

But it's fire that keeps you warm

You know me, you know it's true

You can quote me if you want to

Maybe you're rough around the edges

And stubborn to a fault

Maybe I'm just a little too blonde-headed

Stiff-backboned and all

Maybe I'm passionate

About being passionate

Say what you like boy, water is nice

But it's fire that keeps you warm

Say what you like it may all turn to ice

It's the fire that you're gonna want

I was datin' a doctor with a gentleman nature

Says, "She ain't nothin' like me"

There's fire and there's water

And all I can offer is a temperament that he don't need
