He's dating a lawyer with a gentle nature

Says she ain't nothing like me

And there's fire and there's water and all I can offer

Is a temperament that he don't need

Well he's making his rounds with the well bred in town

Safe and out of harm

Well he can say what he likes water is nice

But it's fire that keeps you warm



Maybe I'm rough around the edges

And stubborn to a fault

Maybe I'm just a little too hard headed

Stiff backbone and all

Maybe I'm passionate about being passionate

Say what you like boy water is nice

But it's the fire that keeps you warm



Well if you know me you know it's true

And you can quote me if you want to



Maybe I'm rough around the edges

And stubborn to a fault

Maybe I'm just a little too hard headed

Stiff backbone and all

Maybe I'm passionate about being passionate

Say what you like boy water is nice

But it's the fire that keeps you warm



Say what you like

When they all turn to ice

It's the fire that you're gonna want



He's dating a doctor with a gentle nature

Says she ain't nothin' like me

And there's fire and there's water and all I can offer

Is a temperment that he don't need
