David Allan Coe ? Standing Too Close To The Flame
DThey 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
GIf you don?t take this warning your young life will never be the Dsame
                               A(stop)                    D  
I?m tellin? you now girl you?re Standing Too Close To The Flame.
DThey 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
My Gwhole body is shaking and you say you aren?t feeling any Dshame
                               A(stop)                    D  
I?m tellin? you now girl you?re Standing Too Close To The Flame.
GYou see the sparks flying every time that we Dtouch
GWhen you hold me close babe that?s just a little too Amuch
I can almost smell the smoke now.
 D   G   D   A(stop) D  
DThey 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
GIf you don?t take this warning your young life will never be the Dsame
I?m Atellin? you now girl you?re Standing Too Close To The DFlame.
GSee the sparks flying every time that we Dtouch
GWhen you hold me close babe that?s just a little too Amuch
I can almost smell the smoke now.
