Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She crossed herself as she put on her things
She has promised once before not to live this way
If she don't calm down, she will burn herself out
Like a forest fire, well doesn't that make you smile?
[Verse 2]
If you don't slow down, I swear that I'll come round
And mess up your place, let's go for a spin
They say we shouldn't even know each other
And that we'll be undone
Don't it make you smile like a forest fire?
[Verse 3]
I believe in love
I'll believe in anythin'
That's gonna get me what I want
Get me off my knees
Then we'll burn your house down
Don't it feel so good?
There's a forest fire every time we get together
[Verse 4]
Doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
[Verse 5]
Hey, pick you up, put you down
Rip you up and spin you round
Just like we said we would
'Cause we're a forest fire
Believe we be
We'll tear this place down
[Verse 6]
If we get caught in this wind
Then we could burn the ocean
If we get caught in this scene
We're gonna be undone
It's just a simple metaphor
It's for a burning love
Don't it make you smile like a forest fire?
