[Verse 1]
Crossed paths, first glance
Bad joke, you laughed
Sweet voice, I had no chance
Star-crossed, perplexed
Group chat, background check
Bad news, she's a mess
[Pre-Chorus]
Got a rap sheet longer than a backstreet
I should probably run but I've never been an athlete
I don't need their two cents, told them they can keep it
Gotta see it for myself to believe it
[Chorus]
So let me play with fire
I gotta touch the stove
Cause how else will I know (Ah)
Let me jump head first and
Cut the breaks and go
And take the told you so's (Ah)
I could heed your word
I could leave unhurt before I'm six feet down
But if this ship is sinking I might drown
But that's the cost of finding out
[Verse 2]
First date went great
Got back a little too late
They ask, I say (Say)
I got it bad
Don't look at me like that
Their eyes roll
But if they knew what I know
If they know
[Pre-Chorus]
I found a smoke show with a sense of humor
She's got a past but I swear we have a future
Trade in my pride for grace
She's not the only one making me stay
[Chorus]
So let me play with fire
I gotta touch the stove
Cause how else will I know (Ah)
Let me jump head first and
Cut the breaks and go
And take the told you so's (Ah)
I could heed your word
I could leave unhurt before I'm six feet down
But if this ship is sinking I might drown
But that's the cost of finding out
[Bridge]
Crossed paths, first glance
Bad joke, you laughed
Sweet voice, no chance
Adjust my stance
Caution to wind
Die for the sin
I'd let this outlaw do
Whatever she wanted to
I've done so many dances
Beggars can't be choosers granted
Don't tell 'em what I'm 'bout to say
But I'd choose this anyway
[Chorus]
So let me play with fire (Let me play with fire)
I gotta touch the stove
Cause how else will I know (Ah)
Let me jump head first (Let me jump head first)
Cut the breaks and go
And take the told you so's (Ah)
I could heed your word
I could leave unhurt before I'm six feet down (Before I'm six feet down)
But if this ship is sinking I might drown
But that's the cost of finding out
That's the cost of finding out
But that's the cost of finding out
