Don't get too close 'cause I'm ready to blow
I go for broke when my blood runs cold
Just ain't no telling my hands might do
If somehow got a hold of you

Ah, ah, temper, temper now
Was only saying, don't you talk me down
I never stop to worry none
Now the damage has been done

You were the sun, babe
I was the burn
You were that lesson, girl
I never learned
You were the lie
I couldn't hide
You were that gun for hire, baby
Keep me none the wiser

So keep on doing what you damn well please
Play it off like it's all a tease
I wouldn't put it past someone like you
To strike a match then you light my fuse

Ah, ah, temper, temper now
Was only saying, don't you talk me down
I never stop to worry none
Now the damage has been done

You were the sun, babe
I was the burn
You were that lesson, girl
I never learned
You were the lie
I couldn't hide
You were that gun for hire, baby
Keep me none the wiser

You were the sun, babe
I was the burn
You that lesson, girl
I never learned
You were the lie
I couldn't hide
You were that gun for hire
Keep me none the wiser
