The Fire Lyrics

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 the well bred in town
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 blond-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
If you know me, you know it's true
You can quote me if you want to
Oh whoa

Maybe you're rough around the edges and stubborn to a fault
Maybe I'm just a little too blond-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
