The Only Flame In Town |
| I know a girl got my mind in a mess |
| I never heard her say goodnight and God bless |
| She’s not the only flame in town |
| And when we’re alone we never quarrel |
| I’m miles away now here’s the moral |
| She’s not the only flame in town |
| She’s not the only flame in town |
| She’s got to stop thinking that I’m |
| carrying this torch around |
| He struck a match and it lit up her face |
| We should have struck a match girl |
| To burn down the whole place |
| Now you’re not the only flame in town |
| But you blew hot and cold |
| Turned my heart to a cinder |
| And with each passing day |
| You’d be less tender and more tinder |
| Now you’re not the only flame in town |
| She’s not the only flame in town |
| She’s got to stop thinking that I’m |
| carrying this torch around |
| Thought I saw your face in the fire |
| But it’s so hard to remember |
| Even an inferno can cool down to an ember |
| Now you’re not the only flame |
| You’re not the only flame |
| You’re not the only flame in town |
