[English]

Set my heart on fire

Pour gasoline all over my desire

When I go up in flames, I'm burning bright

I'll tell you it's too late to apologize

You burnt that bridge a million times, a million tries

You play with fire

Every time we touch, my fingers burn

I just want that love, don't leave me hurt

I can feel the rush when we ignite

'Cause every time we touch, every time we touch, I feel that fire

...

You know sparks gon' fly

Every time you look into my eyes

All it takes is one small match to light

'Cause once we feel the flame, we'll never die

You burnt that bridge a million times, a million tries

You play with fire

Every time we touch, my fingers burn

I just want that love, don't leave me hurt

I can feel the rush when we ignite

'Cause every time we touch, every time we touch, I feel that fire

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

(That love, don't leave me hurt)

...

Every time we touch, my fingers burn

I just want that love, don't leave me hurt

I can feel the rush when we ignite

'Cause every time we touch, every time we touch, I feel that fire

...
