Tried to strike a conversation You never heard a word I said Tried to warm you with temptation But got a cold shoulder instead You hardly glanced up from your magazine And when I tried to meet your eyes, you wouldn’t see, you couldn’t see (Fire) I lit a candle, turned out the light Yeah, I’ve been tryin’ to get it goin’ all night Stayed up late, gave up sleep Would’ve thought by now I’d learn This fire just won’t burn So I struggled to impress you Workin’ hard for you to notice me Said some things I never should have Tried to become what I’d never be But you hardly glanced up from your work, baby And when I tried to meet your eyes, you wouldn’t look, you wouldn’t look (Fire) I lit a candle, turned out the light Yeah, I’ve been tryin’ to get it goin’ all night Stayed up late, gave up sleep Would’ve thought by now I’d learn This fire just won’t… I‘ll keep tryin’ as long as it takes ‘Cause you mean too much to me to stop it now No, I won’t give up I lit a candle, turned out the light Yeah, I’ve been tryin’ to get it goin’ all night Stayed up late, gave up sleep Would’ve thought by now I’d learn This fire just won’t burn This fire just won’t burn This fire just won’t burn
