You know they say that one hand washes the other
Well you better start, better start looking out for me
'Cause there's a way that you can be minus one lover
Just keep making it hard deliberately

If you're gonna play with fire, don't cry when you burn your fingers
I'm not gonna be the fool that you get tired of
Someone's got to clean up their act before the show is over
Baby, such are the facts of love

It's been so long since we made magic together
But you never stopped taking real good care of yourself
There comes a time you see your face in the mirror
And something tells you the pain ain't good for your health no no

If you're gonna play with fire, don't cry when you burn your fingers
I'm not gonna be the fool that you get tired of
Someone's got to clean up their act before the show is over
Baby, such are the facts of love

If you're gonna play with fire, don't cry when you burn your fingers
I'm not gonna be the fool that you get tired of
Someone's got to clean up their act before the show is over
Baby, such are the facts of love
The facts of love, the facts of love, the facts of love

Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947 in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco) is a Mexican and American musician who became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered a fusion of rock and Latin American music. Carlos prefers to only play and leave lead vocals to guest singers. The band’s sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003 Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 20 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He has won ten Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards.
