Fire and Smoke - Earl Thomas Conley

If I'd known you were cheating me, I would have saved myself and set you free. If I learned you weren't the loving kind, I would have saved some peace of mind. My friends told me you would break my heart, And never last, we would surely part. There's no smoke without fire, Baby, baby you're liar. People talk in this little town, Rumours keep spreading all around. And now word has it you've been foolin' me, I'm so blind that I cannot see. My friends told me never to believe in you, You never loved me you were never true. There's no smoke without fire, Baby, baby you're a liar. No there's no smoke without fire. Baby, baby you're a liar. You're a liar You're a liar You're a liar Baby you're a liar. There's no light without a flame, There's no use in having you to blame. No There's no smoke without fire. Baby, baby you're a liar. You're a liar

I never meant to call you out I've always seen behind your smoke and mirrors Oh sweetheart, please don't yell at me It really isn't hard to see The truth that's rotting underneath Why weren't you honest from the start? You know, I've always thought she must have liked you She's just a temptress, don't you know She'll say she loves you, even though She only wants to steal your soul I'll save you You said you'd always be my friend That we'd get married when we both got older I'd never heard those words before You made me long for something more But then she tried to steal your love What's with that look? Do you really think I'm out of mind tonight? Stop calling her name If you play my game She may just make it out alive I love you I'm not asking much, just give me your heart And put no one else above me Go on, just say you love me Take my hand in yours and tell me that I'll always be the one Without you, my life means nothing So just say you love me tonight And if you lie This poor girl will have to die I'm sorry that I lost my cool As you can see here, I've been very busy I found her number in your phone Asked her to meet me here alone So we could talk, just one on one What's with that look? Do you really think I'm taking this too far? All you have to do Is swear that you'll be true And I will let her go right now Just don't lie No, I won't fall for this again I'll always see behind your smoke and mirrors I know you love me deep inside You're simply caught up in her lie So I will cut you free myself I'm not asking much, just give me your heart And put no one else above me Please, just say you love me Take my hands in yours and tell me that I'll always be the one Without you, my life means nothing So just say you love me C'mon, what's the problem, quit your crying, be a man Surely, she couldn't mean that much Let me give you my love Take my soul, my heart, and body, yes, I give it all to you And if you still won't accept it You're gonna regret it I hate to play these games But you're driving me insane Won't you tell me that you'll stay Now that she's not in the way?

I got a hundred dollars smokin' in my billfold I know I ought to save it but it's burnin' a hole Right through my pocket and into my skin Come Monday morning I'll be broke again CHORUS It's finally Friday I'm free again I got my motor runnin' for a wild weekend It's finally Friday I'm out of control Forget the western blues and let the good times roll I've got a little sugar baby down the road Sittin' on ready and rockin' on dough We'll dance up a storm and later on tonight Be workin' on doin' all the wrong things right CHORUS Monday I'll be hurtin' with my head in a vice Tuesday I'll be wonderin' if I'll ever survive Wednesday and Thursday I'll be slowly tunin' in Friday I'll be revvin' up my motor again... Finally Friday I'm free again I got my motor runnin' for a wild weekend It's finally Friday I'm out of control Forget the western blues and let the good times roll It's finally Friday I got my motor runnin' for a wild weekend It's finally Friday Forget the western blues and let the good times roll...

The first time that I met you I was sure as sure it could be Don't ask me how but there was no doubt you were the one for me Love was intuition is a feeling you just can't fight So I follow through with my plans for you And now I know that I was right Right from the start I had this feeling in my heart Baby I knew you were right for the part Right from the start Don't you remember me saying our love was sure to grow Well that's just what it did and you've got to admit Baby I told you so Right from the start I had this feeling in my heart Baby I knew you were right for the part Right from the start I guess I shouldn't say anything I've never been right before But there's a first time for everything And this time my heart was sure Oh right from the start I had this feeling in my heart Baby I knew you were right for the part Right from the start I had this feeling in my heart Baby I knew you were right for the part
