The Only Flame In Town

I know a girl got my mind in a mess I never heard her say goodnight and God bless Shes not the only flame in town
And when were alone we never quarrel Im miles away now heres the moral Shes not the only flame in town
Shes not the only flame in town Shes got to stop thinking that im 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 youre not the only flame in town
But you blew hot and cold Turned my heart to a cinder And with each passing day Youd be less tender and more tinder Now youre not the only flame in town
Shes not the only flame in town Shes got to stop thinking that im Carrying this torch around
Thought I saw your face in the fire But its so hard to remember Even an inferno can cool down to an ember Now youre not the only flame Youre not the only flame Youre not the only flame in town
