Lyrics Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt

Burning Down the House

Watch out, you might get what you're after

Cool baby, you're strange but not a stranger

I'm an ordinary girl

And I'm burnin' down the house

Hold tight, wait till this party's over

Hold tight, well we're gonna be in for some nasty weather

There has got to be a way

And we're burnin' down the house

Here's your ticket, pack your bags, it's time for goin' overboard

Transportation is here

Close enough but we're not too far, bet you're wonderin' where you are

Fight fire with fire

Burning down the house

All wet, and you might need a raincoat

Shake down, my dreams are walkin' in broad daylight

365 degrees

And we're burnin' down the house

My house, out of the ordinary

That's right, I don't want to really hurt nobody

Some things sure sweep me off my feet

And we're burnin' down the house
