Fire, The Lyrics - Single White Female - Chely Wright

He's dating a lawyer with a gentle nature 

Says, "She ain't nothing like me" 

And there's fire and there's water 

And all I can offer is a temperament that he don't need 

Well, he's making his rounds with the well bred in town 

Safe and out of harm 

Well, he can say what he likes 

Water is nice but it's the fire that keeps you warm 

Maybe I'm rough around the edges and stubborn to a fault 

Maybe I'm just a little too hard headed, stiff backbone and all 

Maybe I'm passionate about being passionate 

Say what you like, boy 

Water is nice but it's the fire that keeps you warm 

Well, if you know me you know it's true 

And you can quote me if you want to 

Maybe I'm rough around the edges and stubborn to a fault 

Maybe I'm just a little too hard headed, stiff backbone and all 

Maybe I'm passionate about being passionate 

Well, say what you like, boy 

Water is nice but it's the fire that keeps you warm 

Say what you like when they all turn to ice 

It's the fire that you're gonna want 

He's dating a doctor with a gentle nature 

Says, "She ain't nothin' like me" 

And there's fire and there's water 

And all I can offer is a temperament that he don't need
