Lyrics
I was sitting in the corner of the barroom drinking, not wanting to see anyone
When he walked in smiling and I was thinking that he looked like the morning sun.
And knew I should reach out to touch him I'd only get burned, but you know women
Like me, we never learn.
Jumping from the frying pan, into the fire again. Making the bed I'm going to have
To lie in. Jumping ffrom the frying pan, into the fire again, like an old movie
I know how this story will end.
Well, I am sitting on the edge of the bed thinking that I should just run.
But he pulls me closer and he holds me tight and he feels like the
Afternoon sun. And I knew I shouldn't reach out to touch him I'd only get burned,
But you know women like me, we never learn.
Jumping from the frying pan, into the fire again. Making the bed I'm going to have
To lie in. Jumping ffrom the frying pan, into the fire again, like an old movie
I know how this story will end.
Well, I am back in the corner of the barroom drinking not wanting to see anyone,
Sitting here thinking that my whole life's played like an old rerun. And knew I should reach out to touch him I'd only get burned, but you know women
Like me, we never learn.
Jumping from the frying pan, into the fire again. Making the bed I'm going to have
To lie in. Jumping from the frying pan, into the fire again, like an old movie
I know how this story will end.
