Burn Me Up Like Wax-Kissed Letter

[Chorus 1]
I don't need another lover
I got my hands all dirty covered
Dry heat, swallow me under
Or burn it up like a wax-kissed letter

[Verse 1]
Three piece and busy people
Walk around with sharpened needles
I keep my .45's in the drawer
Come on, come on, come on
I met you out for supper
On a dirt porch mom and pop store
Well you caught me with some charlatan hussy
Heading out the door (I don't need another lover)

[Bridge]
I play it over and over again it goes
Ooh-ooh
Red ribbon rope entwined
Ooh-ooh
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Pretty girls in the magazines cut it out
Come on, come on, come on, come on
As the gasoline keeps burning out

[Chorus 1]
I don't need another lover
I got my hands all dirty covered
Dry heat, swallow me under
Or burn it up like a wax-kissed letter

[Verse 2]
I saw the gleam in your suitor tonight, it goes
"Oh Charlatan, does what she can"
I got to leave but I want to drive, it goes
"Oh Charlatan, say where and when"

[Bridge]
Red ribbon rope entwined
Ooh-ooh
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Pretty girls in the magazines cut it out
Come on, come on, come on, come on
As the gasoline keeps burning out

[Chorus 2]
Oh Charlatan, do what you can
Say where and when, oh Charlatan
Oh Charlatan, do what you can
Say where and when, oh Charlatan

[Breakdown]
Yeah we're d.e.a.d. dead
It's just a taunt something she said
Leave me cherry, cherry red
I don't need another lover
I don't need another lover
So clap, clap your hands, so clap, clap your hands
I don't need another lover
So clap, clap your hands, oh Charlatan

[Bridge]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Pretty girls in the magazines cut it out
Come on, come on, come on, come on
As the gasoline keeps burning out

[Chorus 2]
Oh Charlatan, do what you can
Say where and when, oh Charlatan
Oh Charlatan, do what you can
Say where and when, oh Charlatan
Oh Charlatan, do what you can
Say where and when, oh Charlatan
Oh Charlatan, oh Charlatan
Do what you can, say where and when
Oh Charlatan

I don't need another lover
