She crossed herself As she put on her things She has promised once before Not to live this way If she don't calm down She will burn herself out Like a forest fire Well, doesn't that make you smile? If you don't slow down I swear that I'll come 'round And mess up your place Let's go for a spin They say we shouldn't even know each other And that we'll be undone Don't it make you smile Like a forest fire? I believe in love I'll believe in anything That's gonna get me what I want And get me off my knees Then we'll burn your house down Don't it feel so good? There's a forest fire Every time we get together Hey pick you up, put you down Rip you up and spin you 'round Just like we said we would 'Cause we're a forest fire Believe we will tear this place down If we get caught in this wind Then we could burn the ocean If we get caught in this scene We're gonna be undone It's just a simple metaphor It's for a burning love Don't it make you smile Like a forest fire?
