So you thought without her it would be easy to live She wanted more than you were willing to give. Ah, but give and take and blame are all a part of the plan That burns for the one that you want to be with. You know a fire is hard to get started And even harder to make a good one last. You'd better believe it's so You're gonna wind up out in the cold When it all goes up in smoke and ashes. You better pour a little more coal on the fire Send the voice she knows and loves a whistling down the wire If it's love and it's true Then it ain't nothing more than a point of view Pour a little more coal on the fire Oh you've gotta pour a little more coal on the fire. You know she wants you but only if you're willing to bend You're far enough away to see how much she meant Oh it's a crying shame that fire's part of the game It's a card you're holding, playing to win. There ain't nothing as lonely as a loser Who refuses to fold a losing hand You'd better believe it's true It's happening to you You're gonna become a forgotten man. You better pour a little more coal on the fire Send the voice she knows and loves a whistling down the wire If it's love and it's true Then it ain't nothing more than a point of view Pour a little more coal on the fire. I said if it's love and it's real Then cuddle up and tell her just how you feel. Pour a little more coal on the fire. You gotta pour a little more coal on the fire, On the fire, a little more coal on the fire You gotta pour a little more coal on the fire You gotta pour a little more coal on the fire You gotta pour a little more coal on the fire You gotta pour.
