I make friends with the head of police
To make sure he'd suspect me the least
If I'm caught I'll be out in a week
I got my story straight down to a T
Oh I'd say it wasn't me  hmm
And sure we dated once in a while
But if there was a motive  it's not enough for a trial
I saw you out  it was zero degrees
And you had your hands right under her sleeves
Oh  you said you don't get cold  you liar
Now I'ma set your house on fire
Running  I'm running back to your place
With gas and a match  it'll go up in flames
Now I know you're not at home  you liar
Now I'ma set your house on fire
If somebody goes and calls the brigade
I'll already be too far away
I bought a map and I planned the escape
I'll dye my hair  change my name
You should've seen this from the start
When you could've been honest  you could've been smart
Yeah  we might have touched  we might have kissed
But  darling  I'm sorry  it's not enough to convict
I saw you out  it was zero degrees
And you had your hands right under her sleeves
Oh  you said you don't get cold  you liar
Now I'ma set your house on fire
Running  I'm running back to your place
With gas and a match  it'll go up in flames
Now I know you're not at home  you liar
Now I'ma set your house on fire
Now I'ma set your house on fire  you liar
Now I'ma set your house on fire
You can look around  but you won't find her
She'll be outta town with the getaway driver
That's the way it feels when the flames get higher
Now I'ma set your house on fire
