They say love is a fire that’s a lesson that I’ve learned
And if you play with fire babe someday you’ll get burned
If you don’t take this warning your young life will never be the same
I’m tellin’ you now girl you’re Standing Too Close To The Flame.

They say don’t light the match unless you can put out the fire
It’s much too late to stop now I’m burning with desire
My whole body is shaking and you say you aren’t feeling any shame
I’m tellin’ you now girl you’re Standing Too Close To The Flame.

You see the sparks flying every time that we touch
When you hold me close babe that’s just a little too much
I can almost smell the smoke now.

See the sparks flying every time that we touch
