Lyrics Richard Marx

Richard Marx

Playing with Fire

Hey, you got the look of a lonely woman's eyes

What'cha thinking when you're standing so close to me?

Ain't no law says a man can't fantasize

There's a secret locked up in you tight

Ooh, I'd love to turn the key

Whoah, playing with fire

Whoah, fighting my desire, baby

Whoah, my conscience is a liar

Oh, Lord, have mercy on the shameless sinner

Whoah, playing with fire

Whoah, walking on a wire, now I

Whoah, I face the crucifier

What'cha doin' to me?

Live by rules made up by society

But I guess I must've missed election day

'Cause so much about you looks so good to me, yeah

For what I'm thinking I could go to jail

But some laws are born to break

Whoah, playing with fire

Whoah, fightin' my desire, baby

Whoah, my conscience is a liar

Oh, Lord, have mercy on the shameless sinner

Whoah, playing with fire

Whoah, stakes are getting higher, now I

Whoah, I face the crucifier

What'cha doin' to me?

Whoah, playing with fire

Whoah, fighting my desire, baby

Whoah, my conscience is a liar

Oh, Lord, have mercy on the shameless sinner

Whoah, playing with fire

Whoah, walking on a wire, now I

Whoah, I face the crucifier

What'cha doin' to me?

Whoah, playing with fire

Whoah, fighting my desire, baby

Ooh, I'm beggin' you Lord, have mercy

On a shameless sinner

Whoah, playing with fire

Whoah, stakes are getting higher

I think I'm losin' it
