about

This song is based on a true story... one these days that's going to get me into trouble.

lyrics

She says she can undress a man
In ten seconds flat
I don’t get why a married woman
Is saying things like that
Now I’ve got to go
So I hit you up for a ride
I can tell you want to stay
Yet reluctantly you
Oblige

What you may not realize is I
Pulled you from the fire

It was not my priority still I
Pulled you from the fire

Ya don’t need to know why I just
Pulled you from the fire

She creates chaos and
Expects ya just to deal
You shouldn’t have even been there,
If we’re being real
Maybe you think gett'n singed
Is all good and well
But you gotta watch for the honeypots and
Intentions that pave your way to
Hell

What you may not realize is I
Pulled you from the fire

It was not my priority still I
Pulled you from the fire

Ya don’t need to know why I just
Pulled you from the fire

It’s true this situation is inflaming my old wounds
It’s true that there’s nothing here to win or to lose
I try my best to be mindful and what do I owe you
I am not your keeper — but I’ve also been there too


Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do,
I said under my breath
As I slammed that car door shut and
Who knows what you went and did next
If you leapt right back in,
Then that’s not on me
You may be ten years her junior but
You cannot be that
Naive

What you may not realize is I
Pulled you from the fire

It was not my priority still I
Pulled you from the fire

Ya don’t need to know why I just
Pulled you from the fire

The fire…. The fire…. The fire… The fire… Oooh…
