Song Description

Life's lesson based on personal experience

Lyrics

PLAYED WITH FIRE

Wouldn?t use a condom cause it wasn?t any fun
But diseases got inside right when I begun
The doctors all say there?s nothing? they can do
For me the old expression is so true

(Chorus): I played with fire, and I got burned
Why is this lesson so hard to learn

Stuck all those needles deep inside my arm
Never even thought I?d do any harm
But now the message is loud and clear
Without me around who?s gonna hear?

CHORUS

(Bridge):
Every time I pick up the flame, I wish I?d had the strength to say
Look at me, there?s no one else to blame, there?s got to be another way

I kept getting drunk, then taking cocaine, holes in my nose and holes in my brain
Kept eating sugar just to numb my blues, now I can?t stop wearin? junkie shoes

CHORUS
