It's four a.m., I'm drunk and alone
Trying to call you on a public phone
I wanted passion, I wanted desire
My heart is a flame that pains me
If I do not light it on fire
If I do not light it on fire
If I do not light it on fire
If I do not light it on fire
I'm the perfect picture of a perfect fool
You're out doing what I wanted you to
I'm in the heartbreak hotel and there's a desk clerk for hire
My heart is a flame that pains me
If I do not light it on fire
If I do not light it on fire
If I do not light it on fire
If I do not light it on fire
How can I tell you
Just how it feels
How do you make love stay
And how do you know if what's staying is real
I was the one full of whiskey and talk
I was the one with the skip in his walk
You say the truth hurts, yeah well, so does a lie
My heart is a flame that pains me
Light it on fire
If I do not light it on fire
If I do not light it on fire
If I do not light (it on fire)
(If I do not light it on fire) Bless my soul
(light it on fire) Tell me what
(light it on fire) I'll tell you what
(light it on fire) [?]
(light it on fire) Bless my heart
(light it on fire) [?]
(light it on fire) [?]
Light it on fire
Yeah
Alright alright
Yeah yeah yeah
