It flickers, it hesitates
It awakens the instinct of your curiosity
It entices and whispers
You feel its warming strength
But avoid the embers
Otherwise your blood will boil
You are already far too dangerously close
But don't touch it, otherwise it will eat you up
Make a getaway and run
The light so bright like never before
The flame shoots up from deep in your soul
[Refrain:]
Play, don't play
Don't play with fire
Play, don't play
Don't play with fire
Don't play with me
It warms you, it protects you
It shows you the way out of the darkness
So tender, so fragile
But you know it can destroy you
Do you feel the embers, the fiery flood?
It brings you comfort in the night
But don't touch it, otherwise it will eat you up
Make a getaway and run
The light so bright like never before
The flame shoots up from deep in your soul
[Refrain:]
Play, don't play
Don't play with fire
Play, don't play
Don't play with fire
Don't play with me
It sizzles and whispers
It entices and crackles
Don't play with me
Don't play with me
[Refrain:]
Play, don't play
Don't play with fire
Play, don't play
Don't play with fire
Don't play with me
