I'm gonna set myself on fire set myself on fire
If it'll get your attention if you would notice me
I'm gonna show you what love is
I'm gonna show you what real true love is
I'm gonna show you what love is love's a raging fire
Martyrdom is what true love's all about
So if you think that you could love me baby please put me out
Of my misery can't you see love burning me
Oh I'll set myself on fire (set myself on fire)
Set myself on fire (set myself on fire)
Watch the flames climb higher ooh that smell
And I don't care what my friends say
You'd be so perfect for me
And I don't care what your friends say
Cause they're the one's who are crazy
Martyrdom is what true love's all about
So if you think that you could love me baby please put me out
Of my misery can't you see love burning me
Set myself on fire
Ooh ooh ooh set myself on fire
If I make a suggestion pay careful attention
It starts off cute with a lighter
But ends up with me and a shotgun
And you crying and me crying
On the news crying don't you want me baby
Martyrdom is what true love's all about
So if you think you could love me baby please put me out
Of my misery can't you see love burning me
I'll set myself on fire (set myself on fire)
I'll set myself on fire (set myself on fire)
I'll set myself on fire (set myself on fire)
