Five years since you went away
Hurts like it was yesterday
I play with fire and you’re gonna pay
Lord knows I am tired of payin’
I am sick of livin’ in the past
You took my heart and I want it back
You were my first but you didn’t last
You just caused me frustration
Tonight I am gonna set myself free
I’ve got a brand new recipe
And it’s a, a can or two of gasoline
One match and a mighty a big flame
All the heartache and sufferin’
Is gonna melt inside of me
A picture book and a pile of your clothes
You and me goin’ up in smoke
A sure fire way of lettin’ go
Yeah, nothin’ burns like a memory
I’ve got a bottle of 80 proof
I’ll tell you what we’re gonna do
Well, it’s a two for me and one for you
Honey, here’s to liberation
No more pain and misery
I finally found my remedy
And it’s a, a can or two of gasoline
One match and a mighty a big flame
All the heartache and sufferin’
Is gonna melt inside of me
A picture book and a pile of your clothes
You and me goin’ up in smoke
A sure fire way of lettin’ go
Yeah, nothin’ burns like a memory
Burn, baby, burn
Burn, baby, burn
Burn, baby, burn
Burn, baby, burn
You take a, a can or two of gasoline
One match and a mighty a big flame
All the heartache and sufferin’
Is gonna melt inside of me
A picture book and a pile of your clothes
You and me goin’ up in smoke
A sure fire way of lettin’ go
Yeah, nothin’, ooh, nothin’, oh, nothin’
Oh, burns like a memory
