The Fire

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 needWell, 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 warmMaybe 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
