The Fire Lyrics

I 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 needSo he's makin' his rounds with a well-bred intent
Safe and out of harm
He can say what he likes, water is nice
But it's fire that keeps you warmMaybe you're rough around the edges
And stubborn to a fault
Maybe I'm just a little too blonde-headed
Stiff-backboned and allMaybe I'm passionate
About being passionate
Say what you like boy, water is nice
But it's fire that keeps you warmYou know me, you know it's true
You can quote me if you want toMaybe you're rough around the edges
And stubborn to a fault
Maybe I'm just a little too blonde-headed
Stiff-backboned and allMaybe I'm passionate
About being passionate

Say what you like boy, water is nice
But it's fire that keeps you warmSay what you like it may all turn to ice
It's the fire that you're gonna wantI 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
