He's dating a lawyer with a gentle nature

Says "She ain't nothing like me"

And there's fire and there's water

And all I can offer is a temperament

That he don't need

Well he's making his rounds

With the well bred in town

Safe and out of harm

Well he can say what he likes

Water is nice but it's the fire

That keeps you warm

Maybe I'm rough around the edges

And stubborn to a fault

Maybe I'm just a little too hard headed

Stiff backbone and all

Maybe I'm passionate

About being passionate

Say what you like boy

Water is nice but it's the fire

That keeps you warm

Well if you know me you know it's true

And you can quote me if you want to

Maybe I'm rough around the edges

And stubborn to a fault

Maybe I'm just a little too hard headed

Stiff backbone and all

Maybe I'm passionate about being passionate

Well say what you like boy

Water is nice but it's the fire

That keeps you warm

Say what you like when they all turn to ice

It's the fire that you're gonna want

He's dating a doctor with a gentle nature

Says "She ain't nothin' like me"

And there's fire and there's water

And all I can offer is a temperament

That he don't need
