"I'm On Fire" Lyrics

In the absence of a working brain
My mind on vacation, must've been insane
A fool for love I kissed my life goodbye

At the wedding the word was spread around
A memorable occasion, watch a man go down
And the honeymoon was more like a prison cell

Now look what I found, an iron wall-lover
A thorn in my side, can't you hear me cry?

I'm on fire - but my baby's not
She's pretending to love me
I'm on fire - when she's not even hot
She ain't likely to burn me

In desperation I try to clear up this mess
My lawyer on vacation, institution I guess
And I wonder how I let myself go this far, oh yeah

Yes, look what I've found, an iron wall-lover
A pain in my eyes, let me tell you why!

I'm on fire - but my baby's not
She's pretending to love me
I'm on fire - when she's not even hot
She ain't likely to burn

Solo

My world's on fire, a victim of love and hate
Pretending to love me, just take her away

I'm on fire (I'm on fire) but my baby's not
She's pretending to love me
I'm on fire - when she's not even hot
She ain't likely to burn me
