Burnt Child

Face it experience, the greatest teacher of them all
And the bigger they come, sometimes, the harder they fall (harder they fall)
So don't get burned by your own desire
'Cause a burnt child is afraid of fire (burnt child is afraid of fire)
Everybody knows that a burnt child sure enough is afraid of fire

When you're out in the world waiting on those lucky breaks (lucky breaks)
You must learn, learn, learn from your own mistakеs
When you're floating through a crap game, playing with loadеd dice, now
You've got to remember never, never, never make the same mistake twice
And don't get burned by your own desire, no, no
'Cause a burnt child is afraid of fire (burnt child is afraid of fire)
Everybody knows that a burnt child sure enough is afraid of fire

(Fire, fire, fire)
Now, look, the way you left me, baby, you know you shook me a shake
But now you come around here, trying to [?]
But I won't get burned by my own desire, baby
'Cause a burnt child is afraid of fire (burnt child is afraid of fire)
Everybody knows that a burnt child sure enough is afraid of fire

Burnt child is afraid of fire
He remember to stay away from that flame once you get burned
Everybody knows that a burnt child
Everybody knows that a burnt child
Everybody knows that a burnt child has got to be afraid of fire
