Lyrics

DON’T PLAY WITH FIRE
(Words and Music by Tennyson Walters)

Don’t take a chance
I know it’s tempting you
Make no advance
Sin tends to stick like glue
At a glance it’s such a pretty view
But in the balance weighs sorrow’s rendezvous
Don’t play with fire you will get burned
You better watch your step
Watch where you turn
Don’t play with fire you will get burned
It’s a hard lesson for you to learn
Don’t play with fire you will get burned
You might end up like ashes in an urn
Don’t play with fire, fire, …don’t play with fire... fire

Why put yourself in that kind of spot
Can’t you tell that it’s much too hot
Why propel
What is meant to stop
You better run for help
The bottom is about to drop

Don’t play with fire you will get burned
You better watch your step
Watch where you turn
Don’t play with fire you will get burned
It’s a hard lesson for you to learn
Don’t play with fire you will get burned
You might end up like ashes in an urn
Don’t play with fire, fire, …don’t play with fire. fire

I know you think that you can quit
Break the link and handle it
The flame is hard to extinguish
When. the smoke’s a screen, you can’t distinguish
Let me tell you the devil’s no fool
He uses sin as his cutting tool
Get hold of your senses
Put up your defenses
(CHORUS OUT)
