Lyrics

[Intro]
She didn't say anything about Knuck
So I think I got away with it
And I continue to, to get away with it, for the next few weeks at least
And now? I got my mother under control, I got my love life on lock
I'm kinda killing this piano thing already
I mean, shoot, now you can't tell me nothing
[Verse 1]
She's just a girl, and she's on fire
Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway
She's living in a world and it's on fire
Filled with catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away
[PreChorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
She's got both feet on the ground
And she's burning it down
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
She got her head in the clouds
And she's not backing down
[Verse 2]
Hold up
The world is hers 'cause she got a man now? That's what we doing?
I'm just saying
[Verse 3]
Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls say
[PreChorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
She's got both feet on the ground
And she's burning it down
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
She's got her head in the clouds
And she's not coming down
[Verse 4]
Whole step
Diminished
Minor
Alla breve
Molto bene!
[Chorus]
This girl is on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire
"Alla breve?"
She's walking on fire (Fire, fire, fire)
This girl is on fire
Really?
[Verse 5]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 6]
Okay, so she taught me classical, she taught me the blues
And tomorrow, she's showing me Stevie!
I love Stevie
I know
You'll have to play for me sometime
I will, have fun at work
Well, thank you, baby, I'll see you for dinner
[Chorus]
This girl is on fire
This girl is on—
Oh, hell no
[Bridge]
Yo Ali, you know I love you and I always keep it real
But you doing the most, you really need to chill
So you feel like you're in love and it's a really big deal?
But are you thinking things through? It ain't about how you feel
And I don't mean to put your fire out
But when your mother finds out
She gon' bring the whole empire out
I know you love the keys now like Stevie Wonder
But you was just in love with basketball last summer
And now you're saying that you so in love with this drummer
But what about your girls 'cause he's a newcomer
You just gon' break up the crew to leave us two?
While you hanging out with him, what are we gonna do?
You can't see clear 'cause you're falling in this illusion of bliss
What y'all even got in common? Don't waste energy on this, look
I love hanging out with you, we have a ball
But your mother is gonna kill us all
Like we're all gonna die
Yeah, but—
[Chorus]
This girl is on fire (Fire, fire)
She's walking on fire
[Verse 7]
Yo, I should not be here
She's at work, we got plenty of time
Yeah, but we can't just like—
Yeah?
[Verse 8]
Let's do it, baby, let's do it, baby
Let's do it, baby, let's do it, do it
[Outro]
This girl is on fire
