In the absence of a working brain My mind on vacation, must've been insane A fool for love I kissed my life goodbye At the wedding the word was spread around A memorable occation, watch a man go down And the honeymoon was more like a prison cell Now look what I found, an iron wall-lover A thorn in my side, can't you hear me cry? I'm on fire - but my baby's not She's pretending to love me I'm on fire - when she's not even hot She ain't likely to burn me In desperation I try to clear up this mess My lawyer on vacation, institution I guess And I wonder how I let myself go this far, oh yeah Yes, look what I've found, an iron wall-lover A pain in my eyes, let me tell you why! I'm on fire - but my baby's not She's pretending to love me I'm on fire - when she's not even hot She ain't likely to burn Solo My world's on fire, a victim of love and hate Pretending to love me, just take her away I'm on fire (I'm on fire) - but my baby's not She's pretending to love me I'm on fire - when she's not even hot She ain't likely to burn me Outro
