[Verse 1]
I talk to you, had something to say
How many times have I said the same damn thing in a different way?
It won't sink in, I don't wanna burn
I keep on striking that flaming match, no, I never learn
[Pre-Chorus]
I went to turn my back, ooh, I can't shy away

So cool under pressure, baby
I know you can take the heat
Take the heat, take the heat
