David Allan Coe – Standing Too Close To The Flame

D
They say love is a fire that’s a lesson that I’ve learned
And if you play with fire babe someday you’ll get burned
G                                                                D
If you don’t take this warning your young life will never be the same
    A                           (stop)                    D
I’m tellin’ you now girl you’re Standing Too Close To The Flame.

D
They say don’t light the match unless you can put out the fire
It’s much too late to stop now I’m burning with desire
   G                                                        D
My whole body is shaking and you say you aren’t feeling any shame
    A                           (stop)                    D
I’m tellin’ you now girl you’re Standing Too Close To The Flame.

G                                            D
You see the sparks flying every time that we touch
G                                                    A
When you hold me close babe that’s just a little too much
I can almost smell the smoke now.
