Neil Diamond - Flame lyrics

They call her Flame

For obvious reasons

And I'll admit that's its frightnin'

Whenever her lightening flashes

Only ashes remain

Don't get to close

My friends all warned me

And maybe I should of learned

By the boys who were burned by the fire

When they played with Flame

After all I told myself

She's a girl of flesh and blood

And I'm a man

Yeah, who's been around

So I got dressed like royalty

And was off for all to see

The King of fools just waiting to be crowned

You know the rest

It's a old, old story

I've got a new kind of heartburn

And friend if you're smart, learn my lesson

Don't go messin' with Flame

Don't go messin' with Flame

Don't go messin' with Flame
