[Verse 1]

Girl I know we just had the talk

Said we needed some time to cool it off

And I've been on my side of town, just staying low

You come walking in this little bar

Like you could set off that fire alarm

And one little drink won't hurt but don't you know

[Chorus]

Girl we're lightning striking matches

That's what always happens

When we get too close

When you start dancing in the neon

Whisper baby dream on

Then the whiskey hits the coke

Next thing you know we're going up in smoke

[Verse 2]

We start out slow like a cigarette

Burn all night like we always did

They'll be sweeping up the ashes when we go

Yeah, we're playing with a fire we can't control

And we both know

[Chorus]

Girl we're lightning striking matches

That's what always happens

When we get too close

When you start dancing in the neon

Whisper baby dream on

Then the whiskey hits the coke

Next thing you know we're going up in smoke

[Bridge]

Going up, going up, going up in smoke

Going up, going up, going up in smoke

Going up, going up, going up in smoke

Going up, up, up in smoke

[Chorus]

Girl we're lightning striking matches

That's what always happens

When we get too close

When you start dancing in the neon

Whisper baby dream on

Then the whiskey hits the coke

Next thing you know we're going up in smoke

Yeah, we're going up in smoke

Yeah, we're going up in smoke
