Man on Fire Lyrics by DNCE

People to People

2018

[Verse 1]
I been casually defeated in the past
So I'm tryin' hard to reach you, but not ask
I get a vibe, but if I'm wrong, that'd be a drag
So tell me straight 'cause it's gettin' late

[Pre-Chorus]
I want you, I think
You need me, I think (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]
Let me entertain you, take our time
Don't just leave me waitin' for a sign
You can lay your body here tonight
Tiptoe, got me walkin' on a wire
Goddamn, I'm a man on fire

[Verse 2]
It don't have to get too serious with me
It's as simple as the one, the two, and three
But we could be paper dolls and polka dots or diamond rings
But either way, I don't wanna wait, no

[Pre-Chorus]
I want you, I think
You need me, I think (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

[Chorus]
Let me entertain you, take our time
Don't just leave me waitin' for a sign
You can lay your body here tonight
Tiptoe, got me walkin' on a wire
Goddamn, I'm a man on fire

[Bridge]
All our friends have gone home, I've got you alone
We're hand-in-hand, squeeze three times for "Yes"
Don't put on your coat, that's somethin' we'd both regret
The best ain't happened yet (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus]
Let me entertain you (Let me entertain you), take our time (Take our sweet time)
Don't just leave me waitin' for a sign (Don't leave me waitin' for a sign)
You can lay your body here tonight (You can lay your body here tonight)
Tiptoe, got me walkin' on a wire (Oh, you do, girl)
Goddamn, I'm a man on fire (Oh, you got me walkin' on a wire)

[Outro]
Tiptoe, got me walkin' on a wire (Oh, yes, you do, girl)
Goddamn, I'm a man on fire (Da-da-dow, dow-dow-dow)
