I was datin a lawyer with a genleman nature

Says "She ain't nothin like me"

There's fire and there's water

And all I can offer is a temperment that he don't need



So he's makin his rounds with a well-bred intent

Safe and out of harm

He can say what he likes, water is nice

But it's fire that keeps you warm



Maybe you're rough around the edges and stubborn to a fault

Maybe I'm just a little too blonde-headed, stiff-backboned and all

Maybe I'm passionate about being passionate

Say what you like boy, water is nice

But it's fire that keeps you warm



You know me, you know it's true

You can quote me if you want to



Maybe you're rough around the edges and stubborn to a fault

Maybe I'm just a little too blonde-headed, stiff-backboned and all

Maybe I'm passionate about being passionate

Say what you like boy, water is nice

But it's fire that keeps you warm



Say what you like it may all turn to ice

It's the fire that you're gonna want



I was datin a doctor with a gentleman nature

Says "She ain't nothin like me"

There's fire and there's water

And all I can offer is a temperment that he don't need
