Playing with Fire Lyrics by Russ Ballard

Russ Ballard (1984)

0

Baby when I think about it, then I thought we had it made
Like a fool I let you play two timer, but I'd be a bigger fool if I stayed
Now I don't come running, hey girl ain't it strange
I'm thunder, I'm lightning, 'cos I made the change
You don't believe it, 'cos I ain't the same, oh girl can't you see - you're
Playing with fire, playing with fire, when you play with me
But I won't play your mind games, girl count me out, walk away from me
Don't touch, you'll burn your hand, you still don't understand
You're playing with fire
Baby you see that in my heart, the smoke has turned to flame
The pain it was lost in the fire, now I won't
Break at the sound of your name
Now you cry, say will we love again
I guess that could be girl, but I don't know when
All I know is baby 'til then, that's how it's got to be
Playing with fire, playing with fire, when you play with me
But I won't play your mind games, girl count me out, walk away from me
Don't touch, you'll burn your hand, you still don't understand
You're playing with fire
Baby you see that in my heart, the smoke has turned to flame
Playing with fire, playing with fire, when you play with me
But I won't play your mind games, girl count me out, walk away from me
Don't touch, you'll burn your hand, you still don't understand
You're playing with fire
Baby you see that in my heart, the smoke has turned to flame
Playing with fire, playing with fire
