A Little More Coal On The Fire

So you thought without her it would be easy to live
She wanted more than you were willing to give.
Ah, but give and take and blame are all a part of the plan
That burns for the one that you want to be with.

You know a fire is hard to get started
And even harder to make a good one last.
You’d better believe it’s so
You’re gonna wind up out in the cold
When it all goes up in smoke and ashes.

You better pour a little more coal on the fire
Send the voice she knows and loves a whistling down the wire
If it’s love and it’s true
Then it ain’t nothing more than a point of view
Pour a little more coal on the fire
Oh you’ve gotta pour a little more coal on the fire.

You know she wants you but only if you’re willing to bend
You’re far enough away to see how much she meant
Oh it’s a crying shame that fire’s part of the game
It’s a card you’re holding, playing to win.
There ain’t nothing as lonely as a loser
Who refuses to fold a losing hand
You’d better believe it’s true
It’s happening to you
You’re gonna become a forgotten man.

You better pour a little more coal on the fire
Send the voice she knows and loves a whistling down the wire
If it’s love and it’s true
Then it ain’t nothing more than a point of view
Pour a little more coal on the fire.
I said if it’s love and it’s real
Then cuddle up and tell her just how you feel.
Pour a little more coal on the fire.
You gotta pour a little more coal on the fire,
On the fire, a little more coal on the fire
You gotta pour a little more coal on the fire
You gotta pour a little more coal on the fire
You gotta pour a little more coal on the fire
You gotta pour.
