[Verse 1] A story told by a lonely girl there is danger in the way that she stares She begins to pull me in I can’t ever let her know that I care Her family, she left back East but her mother’s eyes remain in the mirror She says she needs a man like me I can’t ever let her know I’ll be there.
[Chorus] She said the heart is like a flame You could burn me to the ground if you walk away She said the heart is like a flame, yeah Don’t burn me down and walk away
[Verse 2] She sits tight in open sight Drawing men in with the scent of perfume She’s well aware she’s catching stares from every pair of hungry eyes in the room
[Chorus] She said the heart is like a flame You could burn me to the ground if you walk away She said the heart is like a flame, yeah Don’t burn me down and walk away
