Peabo Bryson

Songwriter: Peabo Bryson

Midnight, and you're lookin' for a real good time
In the limelight, baby, leavin' all your cars behind
The good life ain't nothin' but a state of mind
Calm yourself down, try to take it slow

Living your life
Like it was a dream
Don't know what it means
Don't really wanna know
Searching for love
While you're on the run
Out there havin' fun
That's the way it goes
When will you learn
Every table turns
Every one gets burned
So don't play with fire, fire
Don't play with fire
(Don't play, don't you play with fire)

In the fast lane, the love is who you're with tonight
No names, baby, doesn't matter if its wrong or right
No shame, gonna party 'til the morning light
Calm yourself down, try to take it slow

Living your life
Like it was a dream
Don't know what it means
Don't really wanna know
Searching for love
While you're on the run
Out there just for fun
That's just the way it goes
When will you learn
Every table turns
Every one gets burned
So don't play with fire
Don't play with fire
(Don't play, don't you play with fire)

Don't play with fire, oh, oh-oh-whoa...
(Don't play, don't you play with fire)
Don't play with fire
Oh, no, don't you play with fire, no
(Don't play, don't you play with fire)
Don't play with fire
Ooh, don't you, don't you play
(Don't play, don't you play with fire)
Don't play with fire...
