Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I get up in the evenin'
And I ain't got nothin' to say
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, 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 dancin' in the dark
[Verse 3]
Messages keep gettin' clearer
Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place
I check my look in the mirror
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is
[Verse 4]
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 dancin' in the dark
[Verse 5]
Stay on the streets of this town
They'll be carvin' you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm dyin' for some action
I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look
[Verse 6]
You can't start a fire
Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
[Verse 7]
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
