Five years since you went away

Hurts like it was yesterday

I play with fire and you're gonna pay

Lord knows I am tired of payin'



I am sick of livin' in the past

You took my heart and I want it back

You were my first but you didn't last

You just caused me frustration



Tonight I am gonna set myself free

I've got a brand new recipe



And it's a, a can or two of gasoline

One match and a mighty a big flame

All the heartache and sufferin'

Is gonna melt inside of me



A picture book and a pile of your clothes

You and me goin' up in smoke

A sure fire way of lettin' go

Yeah, nothin' burns like a memory



I've got a bottle of 80 proof

I'll tell you what we're gonna do

Well, it's a two for me and one for you

Honey, here's to liberation



No more pain and misery

I finally found my remedy



And it's a, a can or two of gasoline

One match and a mighty a big flame

All the heartache and sufferin'

Is gonna melt inside of me



A picture book and a pile of your clothes

You and me goin' up in smoke

A sure fire way of lettin' go

Yeah, nothin' burns like a memory



Burn, baby, burn

Burn, baby, burn

Burn, baby, burn

Burn, baby, burn



You take a, a can or two of gasoline

One match and a mighty a big flame

All the heartache and sufferin'

Is gonna melt inside of me



A picture book and a pile of your clothes

You and me goin' up in smoke

A sure fire way of lettin' go

Yeah, nothin', ooh, nothin', oh, nothin'

Oh, burns like a memory
