Burning Down the House - Intellectual

[Intro: Nina Persson]

Fightin' fire with fire

[Verse 1: Tom Jones, Tom Jones & Nina Persson]

Watch out, you might get what you're after

Cool babies, strange but not a stranger

I'm an ordinary guy

Burning down the house

[Verse 2: Tom Jones, Nina Persson, both]

Hold tight, wait 'til the party's over

Hold tight, we're in for nasty weather

There has got to be a way

Burning down the house

[Chorus: Tom Jones, Nina Persson]

Here's your ticket, pack your bags, time for jumpin' overboard

The transportation is here

Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are

Fightin' fire with fire

[Verse 3: Tom Jones, Tom Jones & Nina Persson]

All wet, yeah, you might need a raincoat

Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight

Three hundred sixty-five degrees

Burning down the house

[Chorus 2: Tom Jones, Nina Persson]

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself

Gonna come in first place

People on their way to work, baby, what did you expect?

Gonna burst into flame

[Bridge: Nina Persson, Tom Jones]

Fighting fire with fire

Burning down the house

[Verse 4: Tom Jones, Nina Persson, both]

My house, s'out of the ordinary

That's right, don't want to hurt nobody

Some things sure can sweep me off my feet

Burning down the house

[Verse 5: Tom Jones, Nina Persson, both]

Watch out, you might get what you're after

Cool babies, strange but not a stranger

I am, I'm an ordinary guy (girl)

Three hundred sixty-five degrees

(Burning down the house)

[Bridge: Tom Jones, Nina Persson]

Fightin' fire with fire

Gonna burst into flame

Fightin' fire with fire

Gonna burst into flame

(Burning down the house)

My house

(Burning down the house)

[Verse 6: Tom Jones, Tom Jones & Nina Persson]

No visible means of support, and you have not seen nothing yet

Everything's stuck together

I don't know what you expect staring into your TV set

Fighting fire with fire

(Burning down the house)

(Ooh, burning down the house)
