Got A Match

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Bring your ear a little closer baby, I got something to say.
There's a full moon tonight and the wolf in me is ready to bay.
If you're feelin' what I'm feelin' don't you think you oughta tell me so?
It's a pretty safe bet that we're ready for the love to grow.

(Pre chorus)
My heart is legal tender all it takes is a spark.
My body's just awaitin' the ok from my heart.
My soul wants to hear that it might just be love.
If you've got a match, now's the time to light it up!

(Chorus)
If you've got a match, now's the time to light it.
If you've got a match, go ahead and ignite it.
Once the flame starts it's too hard to fight it.
If you've got a match, now's the time to light it up.

(Verse 2)
No matter how I try, I can't get you out of my head.
We make clever conversation but there's so much more to be said.
We've both been in a situation like this before.
But you can't predict love, when it knocks you've gotta answer the door.

(Pre chorus/Chorus/Solo)

(Verse 3)
If you really want my love, you'd best not wait too long.
You know me well enough to see that I don't give it away for a song.
I got a deep desire to know if you and I got what it takes.
If it's the real deal baby, take me home and make my whole earth quake.

(Chorus)
If you've got a match, now's the time to light it.
If you've got a match, go ahead and ignite it.
Once the flame starts, it's too hard to fight it.
If you've got a match, now's the time to light it up!

If you've got a match, don't keep me waitin'.
If you've got a match, don't keep my heart achin'.
My body is thinkin' that it can't get enough.
If you've got a match, now's the time to light it up.
Light it up, light it up, light it up!
