You know they say that one hand washes the other
Well you better start, better start looking out for me
Cause there's a way that you can be minus one lover
Just keep making it hard deliberately
Chorus
If you're going to play with fire don't cry when you burn your fingers
I'm not going to be the fool that you get tired of
Someones got to clean up their act before the show is over
Baby such are the facts of love
Verse
Its been so long since we made magic together
But you never stopped taking real good care of yourself
There comes a time you see your face in the mirror
And something tells you the pain ain't good for your health no no
Modified Chorus
If you going to play with fire don't cry when you burn your fingers
I'm not going to be the fool that you get tired of
Somebody's got to clean up their act before the show is over
Baby such are the facts, the facts of love, the facts of love, the facts of love ...
