THREE ALARM FIRE

My baby be burnin’
My baby be burnin’
Burnin'
Burnin'
Went to see my doctor bout some third degree burns
Doctor told
me “Listen boy ‘cause you ain’t gonna learn”
“Your body’s run a fever bout 125”
“Won’t forget to mention that you shouldn’t be alive”
“Critical condition
—
the disease is desire”
“Your baby, she be burnin’
—
like a THREE ALARM FIRE!”
My baby be burnin’
—
my baby be burnin’!
My baby be burnin’
—
good god, she be burnin’!
Flames of passion, reaching higher and higher..
My baby she be burnin’
—
like a THREE ALARM FIRE!
Went to see the preacher man to get me through day..
Emptied out my wallet, put my soul on “layaway
”
Eve had bit the apple, Delilah took the ride..
Preacher said “Your woman’s got the devil inside”
Shouting halleluiah to the deacons and the choir
“Your baby, she be burnin’
—
like a THREE ALARM FIRE!”
