Well, I'm tired of being perfect And I'm bored of being good And I've done my time, and had my fill Of acting like I should I've colored right inside the lines Now I wanna make a mess And I don't care if it offends you Cause I ain't trying to impress I wanna flirt with my own fear Wanna dance with my desire Playing with fire I wanna walk down every street In that dress I shouldn't wear Just to show the whole damn world Just how little that I care If I see something that I want Gonna reach right out and take it And if this service don't bring smiles You know I ain't gonna fake it I wanna flirt with my own fear Wanna dance with my desire Playing with fire Playing with fire Playing with fire I'm choosing door number four If they're offering me three I wanna make a choice That's got nothing to do With no one else but me
And I'm tried of scripted lines That have been so well rehearsed And for just one god damn time I wanna put my own self first I wanna flirt with my own fear Wanna dance with my desire Playing with fire Playing with fire Playing with fire You know I just might learn That I really like to burn Playing with fire Here's the way the world sits to me Good girls rarely make history Gotta take a risk if you want a story There's a real fine line Between content and boring Break the bar don't just raise it higher You done the work you get to play with Playing with fire Playing with fire You know I just might learn That I really like to burn Playing with fire You know I just might learn That I really like to burn Playing with fire Playing with fire (Here's the way the world sits to me) (Here's the way the world sits to me)
