Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I get up in the evenin' and I ain't got nothin' to say
I come home in the mornin', I go to bed feelin' the same way
I ain't nothin' but tired, man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there, baby, mmm, I could use just a little help
[Verse 2]
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Verse 3]
Messages keep gettin' clearer
Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
[Verse 4]
Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
Just livin' in a dump like this, there's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Mmm, baby, I just know this
[Verse 5]
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Verse 6]
Sit around gettin' older, uh, there's a joke here somewhere
When I figure it out, I'll let you know
All I know is that it's on me
[Verse 7]
Shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, have a laugh on me
Mmh, stay on the streets of this town
Oh, and they'll be carvin' you up, that's right
So you gotta stay hungry
Well, I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm dyin' for some action
Sick of sittin' around here, tryin' to write this book
[Verse 8]
I need a love reaction
Come on, now, baby, just give me one look
[Verse 9]
You can't start a fire
Sittin' around cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Verse 10]
You can't start a fire
Worried about your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Verse 11]
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Hey, baby!
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah nah
