Don't wanna spend my life
by the telephone,
watching the hands on the clock,
wonderin' if you're home.
I keep on tellin' myself
you just don't understand.
Why do these nights always last forever?
(I'm on fire).
Stay away from the flame.
(I'm on fire).
Stay away from the flame.
Burn me once,
you burn me twice.
I just can't accept
it's a roll of the dice.
Burn me once,
you burn me twice.
It's always the same -
first the fire, then the ice.
Don't wanna spend tonight
like I always do,
hearing a noise at the door,
wonderin' if it's you.
I keep on telling myself
you just don't give a damn.
Seems like I've felt this way a lifetime.
(I'm on fire).
Stay away from the flame.
(I'm on fire).
Stay away from the flame.
Burn me once,
you burn me twice.
I just can't accept
it's a roll of the dice.
Burn me once,
you burn me twice.
It's always the same -
first the fire, then the ice.
Burn me once,
you burn me twice.
I just can't accept
it's a roll of the dice.
Burn me once,
you burn me twice.
It's always the same -
first the fire, then the ice.
Burn me once,
you burn me twice.
I just can't accept
it's a roll of the dice.
Burn me once,
you burn me twice.
It's always the same -
first the fire, then the ice.
