Don't Start The Fire

(album: We're Movin' Up - 1989)

The night is ending
As the final record spins
Emotions heat the dark
As the rhythm moves within
I hear a voice and turn around
You ask to dance
But can't conceal, your eyes reveal
Your true intentions

Don't start, don't start the fire
If you can't put it out
Oh, don't start the fire
If you're having any doubts

You pull me close into your arms
And whisper let's go
Find us a private place
And turn the lights down low
Running the thoughts of you and me
Around in my mind
I realize that you might be
Just what I am needing

Don't start, don't start the fire
If you can't put it out
Don't start the fire
If you're having any doubts

Some things in life are easy
Others are not, yeah
It takes a lot to handle
All the love that I've got

So, baby, don't start
Don't start the fire
If you can't put it out, ooh!
Don't start the fire
If you're having any doubts

Uh-uh, don't start the fire
If you can't put it out, ooh-ooh...
Don't start the fire
If you're having any doubts

Some things in life are easy
Others are not, yeah
It takes a lot to handle
All the love that I've got
So, baby, don't you start

Don't start the fire
No, don't, don't start the fire
