Playing With Fire - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Well, I'm tired of being perfect

And I'm bored of being good

And I've done my time and had my fill

Of acting like I should

I've colored right inside the lines

Now I wanna make a mess

And I don't care if it offends you

'Cause I ain't trying to impress

[Refrain]

I wanna flirt with my own fear

Wanna dance with my desire

Playing with fire

[Verse 2]

I wanna walk down every street

In that dress I shouldn't wear

Just to show the whole damn world

Just how little that I care

If I see something that I want

I'm gonna reach right out and take it

And if his service don't bring smiles

You know I ain't gonna fake it

[Refrain]

I wanna flirt with my own fear

Wanna dance with my desire

Playing with fire

[Chorus]

Playing with fire

[Verse 3]

I'm choosing door number four

If they're offering me three

I wanna make a choice

That's got nothing to do

With no one else but me

And I'm tried of scripted lines

That have been so well rehearsed

And for just one goddamn time (Just once)

I wanna put my own self first

[Refrain]

I wanna flirt with my own fear

Wanna dance with my desire

Playing with fire

[Chorus]

Playing with fire

You know I just might learn

That I really like the burn

Playing with fire

[Bridge]

Here's the way the world sits to me

Good girls rarely make history

You gotta take a risk if you want a story

There's a real fine line between content and boring

Break the bar, don't just raise it higher

You done the work, you get to play with

[Chorus]

Playing with fire

You know I just might learn

That I really like the burn

Playing with fire

You know I just might learn

That I really like the burn

Playing with fire

[Outro]

Playing with fire

(Here's the way the world sits to me)
