[Verse 1]
She wants me to play with the fire
And to pony up the difference between her heart and mine
Our love was a thing to admire
At the wake we paid our last respects from front of the line

[Chorus]
Foreign hearts spell out the sordid details
Maybe skip a beat or two
But so much more honest than me and you
So don't stop mid-sentence and say
"Don't worry baby, it's ok"
I wanna hear it 'til we're through
My foreign heart may know you better than I do

[Verse 2]
She wants mе to soften the blow
And also make hеr feel as though I cannot stomach the wound
My new love had wanted to know
"Are you really on the rebound as some people assume?"

[Chorus]
Foreign hearts spilling their guts like treason
Maybe butcher a word or two
But so much more honest than me and you
So don't stop mid-sentence and say
"Don't worry baby, it's ok"
You're gonna hear it 'til we're through
Your foreign heart may know me better than you do

[Bridge]
Rationality is nice, but you're paying for the price
Took a loan so I could splurge, and the interest was absurd
It's a turn-off, it's a trap, it's a wheel-chair on your lap
Oh, how it hurts to hear the truth
From a foreign heart that knows you better than you do yourself

[Outro]
I wanted to play with the fire
I wanted to soften the blow
I wanted to play with the fire
I wanted to soften the blow
I wanted to play with the fire, fire, fire
