If You Love Somebody, Set Them On Fire Lyrics by Dead Milkmen

Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I were to say to you
I didn't set your house on fire
But it's just the way I am
You'll have to take it for a fact
Life can really burn you up
When you're a pyromaniac

If you love somebody
Better set them on fire

I went to your house last night
Your dad called me the human torch
Got a little pissed at him
so I burned down your front porch
Now I feel a little bad
About pouring gas on your dad
But you know it's hard to quit
And besides he started it

CHORUS

I just bought a brand new lighter
And I cannot wait to use it
Oily rags are special things
You know to me they're diamond rings
Maybe we can have some fun
Maybe we can burn someone

CHORUS
You know that it would be untrue   You know that I would be a liar   If I were to say to you   I didn't set your house on fire   But it's just the way I am   You'll have to take it for a fact   Life can really burn you up   When you're a pyromaniac       If you love somebody   Better set them on fire       I went to your house last night   Your dad called me the human torch   Got a little pissed at him   so I burned down your front porch   Now I feel a little bad   About pouring gas on your dad   But you know it's hard to quit   And besides he started it       CHORUS       I just bought a brand new lighter   And I cannot wait to use it   Oily rags are special things   You know to me they're diamond rings   Maybe we can have some fun   Maybe we can burn someone       CHORUS
