Lyrics

[Intro]
Mmm...
Baby...
We gotta talk...
Before we burn this whole thing down...
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
Let's put out the fire
Put out the fire

[Verse 1]
We've been throwing sparks across the room,
Turning little words into something we can't undo.
One says something, then the other says some more,
And pretty soon we're standing at the edge of war.
We both got angry, we both crossed the line,
Said some things we wish we could leave behind.
But I don't wanna watch what we built disappear,
Baby, we've got too much love to lose right here.

[Pre-Chorus]
We've gotta cool this down before it gets worse.
Before another spark becomes a flame,
Before our anger leaves us standing in the rain.

[Chorus]
Put out the fire,
Put out the fire,
Let's put out the fire,
Before we lose our love tonight.
Put out the fire,
Let the smoke clear away,
No more burning, no more pain,
Let's find our way back again.
Put out the fire...
Don't let our love burn to the ground.

[Verse 2]
When you play with fire, somebody gets burned,
We've learned that lesson from every bridge we've turned.
When the tongue gets hot, words can cut like a knife,
And a careless moment can leave a scar for life.
We don't need another wildfire out of control,
We don't need another battle taking its toll.
The passion can stay, but the anger's gotta go,
Let's turn down the heat and let our feelings slow.

[Pre-Chorus]
Let's wash away the anger and the tears.
We can heal the places where the damage shows,
If we stop the flames before the whole thing goes.

[Chorus]
Put out the fire,
Put out the fire,
Let's put out the fire,
Before we lose our love tonight.
Put out the fire,
Let the smoke clear away,
No more burning, no more pain,
Let's find our way back again.
Put out the fire...
Don't let our love burn to the ground.

[Bass groove, B-3 organ response, Electric piano fills,

[Bridge]
I'm gonna be your fireman tonight,
I'm coming through the smoke to make things right.
I'm not here to fight you,
I'm here to rescue us.
I'm not letting anger
Turn our love to dust.

[Final Chorus]
Put out the fire,
Put out the fire,
Let's put out the fire,
Before we lose our love tonight.
Put out the fire,
Let the smoke clear away,
No more burning, no more pain,
We're gonna find our way again.

[Outro]
No more smoke...
No more flames...
No more calling each other names...
Let's rebuild...
Let's begin...
Let the healing start again...
Put out the fire...
Put out the fire...
Put out the fire...
Put out the fire...

Put out the fi-i-i-re...
