Burning Down the House
[Intro: Nina Persson]
Fightin' fire with fire

[Verse 1: Tom Jones with Nina Persson]
Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool babies, strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

[Verse 2: Tom Jones, Nina Persson and both]
Hold tight, wait till the party's over
Hold tight, we're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

[Chorus: Tom Jones, Nina Persson and both]
Here's your ticket, pack your bags, time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

[Verse 3: Tom Jones with Nina Persson]
All wet, yeah, you might need a raincoat
Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty-five degrees
Burning down the house
[Chorus 2: Tom Jones, Nina Persson]
It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work, baby, what did you expect?
Gonna burst into flame

[Bridge: Nina Persson, Tom Jones]
Fighting fire with fire
Fighting fire with fire
Burning down the house

[Verse 4: Tom Jones, Nina Persson and both]
My house, s'out of the ordinary
That's right, don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

[Verse 5: Tom Jones, Nina Persson and both]
Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool babies, strange but not a stranger
I am, I'm an ordinary guy (girl)
Three hundred sixty-five degrees
(Burning down the house)

[Bridge: Tom Jones, Nina Persson]
Fightin' fire with fire
Fightin' fire with fire
Gonna burst into flame
Fightin' fire with fire
Fightin' fire with fire
Fightin' fire with fire
Gonna burst into flame
(Burning down the house)
My house
(Burning down the house)
[Verse 6: Tom Jones with Nina Persson]
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothing yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect staring into your TV set
Fighting fire with fire
(Burning down the house)
Ooh
(Burning down the house)
