You’ll Get Your Fingers Burnt
Words & Music by Lorenzo

Verse 1
Well you may think that its clever, to play the field and make me blue.
And you may think that I’ll never consider leaving you.
I recall my momma saying, when I used to flirt.

Chorus
If you play with fire you’d better beware ‘cause
You’ll get your fingers burnt.
Someday you’ll get your fingers burnt”.

Verse 2
Other guys (gals) all swarm around you, like you were the queen (king) bee.
And really I’m not any different ‘cause I let you make a fool out of me.
But remember this my darling, if there’s one thing I have learnt

Chorus
If you play with fire you’d better beware ‘cause
You’ll get your fingers burnt
Someday you’ll get your fingers burnt

Instrumental

Verse 3
I guess I’ll hang around a bit longer, to see what happens to you.
I’m waiting for the guy (girl) who’ll come along, and break your heart in two.
And darling when that happens remember my mommy's words

Chorus
If you play with fire you’d better beware ‘cause
You’ll get your fingers burnt
Someday you’ll get your fingers burnt
(repeat last line twice more)
