Standing too Close to the Flame

David Allan Coe Standing Too Close To The Flame D They say love is a fire thats a lesson that Ive learned And if you play with fire babe someday youll get burned G D If you dont take this warning your young life will never be the same A (stop) D Im tellin you now girl youre Standing Too Close To The Flame. D They say dont light the match unless you can put out the fire Its much too late to stop now Im burning with desire G D My whole body is shaking and you say you arent feeling any shame A (stop) D Im tellin you now girl youre Standing Too Close To The Flame. G D You see the sparks flying every time that we touch G A When you hold me close babe thats just a little too much I can almost smell the smoke now.
