you light the fire and I'll bring home a smile,

and we'll probably be OK.

Yesterday was fine but tomorrow you'll be mine,

and then every day will stay the same.

How long until you discover,

that the man you broke won't decay?

How long until you recover,

all the memories you threw away?

Take the car and drive as far as possible tonight,

and promise me you'll stay away.

For you'll be wanting more than the love you never saw,

and the motherhood you cast aside in haste.

How long until you discover,

all the lives you broke along the way?

How long until you recover,

and the man you broke walks away?

So you light me fire and I'll bring home a smile,

and we'll probably be OK.
