Playing With Fire Lyrics

Playing With Fire - Jennifer Nettles

Written by：Jennifer Nettles/Brandy Clark

Well I'm tired of being perfect

And I'm bored of being good

And I've done my time and had my fill

Of acting like I should

I've colored right inside the lines

Now I wanna make a mess

And I don't care if it offends you

Cause I ain't trying to impress

I wanna flirt with my own fear

Wanna dance with my desire

Playing with fire

I wanna walk down every street

In that dress I shouldn't wear

Just to show the whole damn world

Just how little that I care

If I see something that I want

Gonna reach right out and take it

And if this service don't bring smiles

You know I ain't gonna fake it

I wanna flirt with my own fear

Wanna dance with my desire

Playing with fire

Playing with fire

Playing with fire

I'm choosing door number four

If they're offering me three

I wanna make a choice

That's got nothing to do

With no one else but me

And I'm tried of scripted lines

That have been so well rehearsed

And for just one god damn time

I wanna put my own self first

I wanna flirt with my own fear

Wanna dance with my desire

Playing with fire

Playing with fire

Playing with fire

You know I just might learn

That I really like to burn

Playing with fire

Here's the way the world sits to me

Good girls rarely make history

Gotta take a risk if you want a story

There's a real fine line

Between content and boring

Break the bar don't just raise it higher

You done the work you get to play with

Playing with fire

Playing with fire

You know I just might learn

That I really like to burn

Playing with fire

You know I just might learn

That I really like to burn

Playing with fire

Playing with fire

Here's the way the world sits to me

Here's the way the world sits to me
