[Verse 1]

I keep my heat on a short leash

I keep my feet on the floor

And it might come back to haunt me, baby

But I'm not afraid anymore


[Pre-Chorus]

From you, there's no escaping

For you, I feel it all

When my world needed saving

We watched the ashes fall


[Chorus]

Ooh, what you do to me now?

I'm a fire that you can't put out

Why don't you come to my house?

We could burn this whole place down

'Cause your kiss could kill, and it makes me wild

Come on, light me up in the darkest hours

Ooh, what you do to me now?

The way that you love me

Gonna burn this whole place down

Burn it down


[Verse 2]

There ain't no water for drinking

Just tangled up here with you

I'm getting thеse revelations, baby

Evеry breath, every move


[Pre-Chorus]

From you there's no escaping

For you, I feel it all

When my world needed saving

We watched the ashes fall


[Chorus]

Ooh, what you do to me now?

I'm a fire that you can't put out

Why don't you come to my house?

We could burn this whole place down

'Cause your kiss could kill, and it makes me wild

Come on, light me up in the darkest hours

Ooh, what you do to me now?

The way that you love me

Gonna burn this whole place down

Burn it down

Burn this whole place down

Burn it down, yeah


[Chorus]

Ooh, what you do to me now?

I'm a fire that you can't put out

Why don't you come to my house?

We could burn this whole place down

'Cause your kiss could kill, and it makes me wild

Come on, light me up in the darkest hours

Ooh, what you do to me now?

The way that you love me

Gonna burn this whole place down

Burn it down

Burn it down


[Outro]

("I'm happy with that one!")
