[Verse 1]
Oh, once a wise man said to me
This advice I'll give you free
A woman lives on vanity
So fan the flame
Always keep her hopes up high
Make her laugh, don't make her cry
And don't let her love die
Fan the flame

[Verse 2]
Make her feel she's ten feet tall
Even though she's cute and small
Tell her she's your all in all
Fan the flame
Her love is your necessity
Let her go and you will see
Just how lonely life can be
Fan the flame

[Bridge]
Hey, a woman needs love and praises
You've got to give her a little every day
And when she has her emotional phases
It's up to you to fan the flame
To make everything okay, yeah
(Come on, fan the flame)
(Come on, fan the flame)
[Verse 3]
Ooh, a woman needs love and affection
And little things mean a lot (Fan the flame)
Some are just a little added protection (Fan the flame)
You know you gotta fan the flame and keep it burning hot
Oh yeah

[Outro]
Once that flame is burning hot, it will really take a lot
Just give her all the love you've got
Fan the flame
Some tenderness surely could
Make her do the things she should
You've got to keep her feeling good
Fan the flame
Make her feel she's ten feet tall
Even though she's cute and small
Tell her she's you're all in all
