[Verse 1]
Once a wise man said to me
This advice I'll give you free
A woman lives on vanity

[Refrain]
So fan the flame (Fan the flame)
Mhm, mmm (Fan the flame)

[Verse 2]
Always keep her hopes up high
Make her laugh, don't make her cry
Don't ever let her lovin' die

[Refrain]
Fan the flame (Fan the flame)
Oh (Fan the flame)

[Bridge]
He said a woman needs love and praises
You've got to give her a little each day
So when she has her emotional phases
You just to got to givе her a tender kiss
And makе everything okay
(If you want her to love you, this is what you've gotta do)
Fan the, fan the, fan the flame
Fan the, fan the, fan the flame
(Tenderness is all you need, satisfaction guaranteed)
Fan the, fan the, fan the flame
Fan the, fan the, fan the flame
[Verse 3]
Make her feel she's ten feet tall
Even though she's cute and small
Tell her she's your all in all
And fan the flame (Fan the flame)
Mhm, mmm (Fan the flame)
Her love is your necessity
Let her go and you will see
Just how lonely life can be

[Refrain]
Fan the flame (Fan the flame)
Oh, oh, oh (Fan the flame)

[Bridge]
A woman needs, love and affection
And those little things, they mean a lot
To let her know that you love her is added protection
That's why you got to fan the flame to keep it burning hot
(If you want her to love you, this is what you've gotta do)
Fan the flame, fan the flame
Give her love, give her love, give her love
(And love her good) Love her good
(Love her like you know you should)

[Outro]
Treat her kind, keep her on your mind all the time
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(If you want her to love you, this is what you've gotta do)
Tell her that your love is true, uh-huh-huh
(Fan the flame, fan the flame)
(Tenderness is all you need, satisfaction guaranteed)
Tell her that you need her, too
(Fan the flame, fan the flame)
Tell her, tell her, tell her, tell her
(If you want her to love you, this is what you've gotta do)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, gotta (Fan the flame)
