Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Spirit of Marilyn calling me, audibly, balling, she
Said that she would never leave, continue to torture me
Telling me to come with her, underneath my comforter
And she brought a gun with her, pills and some rum with her
[Verse 2]
Took me on a balcony, telling me to jump with her
Yeah, I'm into ghosts, but I ain't doing stunts with her
I ain't tryna be that, haters wanna see that
But I got 'em aggy, 'cause I win the gold like Gabby
[Verse 3]
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
Feeling the catastrophe
But she knows she can fly away
[Verse 4]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
She got both feet on the ground
And she's burning it down
Oh-oh-oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
She's got her head in the clouds
And she's not backing down
[Verse 5]
This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Say, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
We got our feet on the ground
And we're burning it down
Oh-oh-oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Got our head in the clouds
And we're not coming down
[Verse 8]
This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire
[Verse 9]
Everybody stares as she goes by
'Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
Watch her as she's lighting up the night
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world
But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby
[Verse 10]
Dear God, if you're here, God
Make the fire disappear when they stare, God
Take away my fear when they interfere, God
Do you fear God? 'Cause I fear God
And in my backyard, there's a deer, God
And that's a horse ranch, and to my core fans
Keep repping me, do it to the death of me
X in the box 'cause ain't nobody checking me
[Verse 11]
This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire
[Verse 12]
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-oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh-oh oh-oh oh
[Verse 13]
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-oh
Oh-oh-oh oh, oh
[Verse 14]
She's just a girl, but she's on fire
