A Little More Coal On The Fire

So you thought without her it would be easy to live

She wanted more than you were willing to give.

Ah, but give and take and blame are all a part of the plan

That burns for the one that you want to be with.

You know a fire is hard to get started

And even harder to make a good one last.

You’d better believe it’s so

You’re gonna wind up out in the cold

When it all goes up in smoke and ashes.

You better pour a little more coal on the fire

Send the voice she knows and loves a whistling down the wire

If it’s love and it’s true

Then it ain’t nothing more than a point of view

Pour a little more coal on the fire

Oh you’ve gotta pour a little more coal on the fire.

You know she wants you but only if you’re willing to bend

You’re far enough away to see how much she meant

Oh it’s a crying shame that fire’s part of the game

It’s a card you’re holding, playing to win.

There ain’t nothing as lonely as a loser

Who refuses to fold a losing hand

You’d better believe it’s true

It’s happening to you

You’re gonna become a forgotten man.

You better pour a little more coal on the fire

Send the voice she knows and loves a whistling down the wire

If it’s love and it’s true

Then it ain’t nothing more than a point of view

Pour a little more coal on the fire.

I said if it’s love and it’s real

Then cuddle up and tell her just how you feel.

Pour a little more coal on the fire.

You gotta pour a little more coal on the fire,

On the fire, a little more coal on the fire

You gotta pour a little more coal on the fire

You gotta pour a little more coal on the fire

You gotta pour a little more coal on the fire

You gotta pour.
