put out the fire
maybe you don't like love, or maybe you're just afraid
maybe you think of him as someone you forgave
maybe you guessed it right, and he never cared at all
so you told him goodbye and never again to call

run, run, you didn't know it wasn't done, done
baby cuz you forgot to put out the fire, put out the fire
my, my, aren't you the fool because you cry, cry
isn't it true you didn't put out the fire, put out the fire

oooh, baby you'll get over him, just like you wish, you wish you would
oooh, anything's possible now if you only could

maybe his heart was strong but never convinced his head
maybe those tears of yours are tears for the past instead
only a bitter girl would ever be such a queen
only a bitter boy, would live in the inbetween

run, run, you didn't know it wasn't done, done
baby cuz you forgot to put out the fire, put out the fire
my, my, aren't you the fool because you cry, cry
isn't it true you didn't put out the fire, put out the fire

oooh, baby you'll get over him, just like you wish, you wish you would
oooh, anything's possible now if you only could

maybe you don't like love, or maybe you're just afraid
maybe you think of him as someone you forgave
maybe you guessed it right, and he never cared at all
maybe you left him there wondering what went wrong

run, run, you didn't know it wasn't done, done
baby cuz you forgot to put out the fire, put out the fire
my, my, aren't you the fool because you cry, cry
isn't it true you didn't put out the fire, put out the fire
