[Verse 1]
I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way

I ain't nothing but tired
I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey, there, baby
I could use just a little help

[Chorus]
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

[Verse 2]
Messages keep getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving round the place
I check my look in the mirror
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face

Man, I ain't getting nowhere
Just sitting around in a dump likе this
There's something happеning somewhere
Yeah, baby, I just know there is
[Chorus]
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

[Bridge]
You sit around, getting older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
Shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me
Come on, baby the laugh's on me

[Verse 3]
Stay on the streets of this town
They'll be carving you up, all right
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey, baby, I'm just about starving tonight

I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on, baby, give me just one look

[Chorus]
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worrying 'bout your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
