When you were a baby
Your mama told you not to play with fire
Fire will burn you, and you want to know
What would really be desire
Fire will burn you, and you realize
You don't have to play with fire

* Fire will burn you, fire will burn you
Fire will burn you, fire will burn you
Watch out, watch out, watch out

**I'm a big boy, mama
I know I'll never ever play with fire
Fire will burn you, 'cause I now know better
Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire will burn you
And I realize, I don't have to play with fire

( * Repeat)
( ** Repeat)
Fire will burn you, fire will burn you
Watch out, watch out, watch out
