you take a little match
and start a little flame
you hold it close
within your hands
it is so warm
it burns bigger and brighter
the flames lick at your heart

Chorus
you're playing with fire
the burning desire
will burn you up
and sear your heart
don't play with fire

you hold your little flame
and though it burns your hands
you hold it close
and it sears your heart
it is so warm
but the holy flame is sacred
the fire burns unholy hearts
