There were storms in her eyes and blood on the tracks
She left some fool never lookin back
Her walk was steady headin my direction
I never knew a knife to the heart was a sign of affection

Her dark hair was flowin like a smokey fire
She stared right through me that look of desire
She’s gettin close now and Iʼve lost control
It’s burns me up but Iʼm still not letting go

You canʼt put out the fire, you canʼt put out the fire
You canʼt buy love, or shake desire.
You canʼt put out the fire, you canʼt put out the fire
You canʼt buy love, or shake desire.

Good lord I need some cool, cool water
For the heat comin out of the devils daughter
I took a bite of the apple and I lost my mind
My eyes can see but my heart is always blind

You can't put out the fire, you canʼt put out the fire
You canʼt buy love, or shake desire.
You canʼt put out the fire, you canʼt put out the fire
You canʼt buy love, or shake desire.

Well I get cut so deep canʼt understand
Why it canʼt happen to another man
A lesson learned is a lesson lost Iʼm broke again
I can’t pay the cost of love

You canʼt put out the fire, you canʼt put out the fire
You canʼt buy love, or shake desire.
You canʼt put out the fire, you canʼt put out the fire
You canʼt buy love, or shake desire.
