Verse

You know they say that one hand washes the other

Well you better start, better start looking out for me

Cause there's a way that you can be minus one lover

Just keep making it hard deliberately

Chorus

If you're going to play with fire don't cry when you burn your fingers

I'm not going to be the fool that you get tired of

Someones got to clean up their act before the show is over

Baby such are the facts of love

Verse

Its been so long since we made magic together

But you never stopped taking real good care of yourself

There comes a time you see your face in the mirror

And something tells you the pain ain't good for your health no no

Modified Chorus

If you going to play with fire don't cry when you burn your fingers

I'm not going to be the fool that you get tired of

Somebody's got to clean up their act before the show is over

Baby such are the facts, the facts of love, the facts of love, the facts of love ...
