Matchmaker
Matchmaker, Matchmaker
Make me a match
Find me a flame
Don't turn to ash
Matchmaker, Matchmaker
Look in your book
And make me a perfect match

Matchmaker, Matchmaker
Find me a flame
Heavy with heat
Pregnant with pain
Bring me a blaze that is burning to see
The secrets inside of me

Reaching[?], I often remember
The older ebb and the glowing of ambers
That leave me with rough wind in December
Boulder and colder than life[?]

Matchmaker, Matchmaker
Make me a match
Find me a flame
That's ready to flash
Matchmaker, Matchmaker
Look in your book
And make me a perfect match
Night after night, in the dark I am alone
Burning with heat, and I hate be known
By someone whose heat is a match for my own
So give me the gas

[Bridge]

Matchmaker, Matchmaker
I have no choice
It makes me so moist
That's I'll never learn
Playing with matches will get a girl burned
So mine is the need
Whose cremating need[?]
Incinderating
Unless I can be
Matched with a matchless man
