(Jan Buckingham - Averal Aldridge)



Billy had a woman but he treated her bad

Lost the best thing he ever had

Betty got tired of being put down

So she packed her bags and left this town

Gotta love somebody if you wanna them to stay

Treat them right or they'll slip away

Slip away



Chorus

Feed the fire

Stoke the coals

You never stay warm at night

If love grows cold

Stirring it up will make that flame burn higher

If tou want love to last

Feed the fire



Falling in love will come easy for you

But staying in love us what's hard to do

A little give and take and compromise

Can help to keep your love alive

You gotta say you love him every day

Show you need him in a hundred ways

And love will stay
