Lyrics
There is a lesson
That one way or another
every man must learn,
Fire looks so warm and fine
But anyone who touches it must get burned.
Watch for the stare,
She’s got a smile on her lips but cemetery eyes,
That’s when to be aware,
The body may be hot, the heart is cold as ice.
Don’t do the crazy girls, whatever else you do,
Cause you won’t like the crazy when it’s coming back at you.
The cost of a crazy girl always does come due,
And you won’t like the crazy when it’s coming back at you.
Watch for the stare,
She’s got a smile on her lips but cemetery eyes,
That’s when to be aware,
The body may be hot, the heart is cold as ice.
Don’t do the crazy girls, whatever else you do,
Cause you won’t like the crazy when it’s coming back at you.
The cost of a crazy girl always does come due,
And you won’t like the crazy when it’s coming back at you.
Don’t do the crazy girls, whatever else you do,
Cause you won’t like the crazy when it’s coming back at you.
The cost of a crazy girl always does come due,
And you won’t like the crazy when it’s coming back at you.
