lyrics

Strike a match, it won’t go out.
Strike a match, it won’t go out.
See it burn, see it burn.
Strike a match, it won’t go out.
Strike a match, it won’t go out.
The flame returns, the flame returns.
It comes and goes.

Single love is a burning thing, single love is a burning thing,
Hot to touch, hot to touch.
Single love is a burning thing, single love is a burning thing.
It’s too much, too much.
It comes and goes.

It comes and goes.

Married love is a dying thing, married love is a dying thing.
Rake the coals, rake the coals.
Married love is a dying thing, married love is a dying thing.
The embers glow, the embers glow.
It comes and goes.

It comes and goes.
It comes and goes.

Strike a match, it won’t go out.
See it burn, see it burn.
