Watch out, you might get what you're after   Cool baby, you're strange but not a stranger      I'm an ordinary girl   And I'm burnin' down the house      Hold tight, wait till this party's over   Hold tight, well we're gonna be in for some nasty weather      There has got to be a way   And we're burnin' down the house      Here's your ticket, pack your bags   It's time for jumpin' overboard   Transportation is here      Close enough but I'm not too far   Bet you're wonderin' where you are   Fight fire with fire of love      Burnin' down the house      All wet, and you might need a raincoat   Shake down, my dreams are walkin' in broad daylight      Three hundred sixty-five degrees   And we're burnin' down the house, hah      My house, out of the ordinary   That's right, I don't wanna really hurt nobody      Some things sure sweep me off my feet   And we're burnin' down the house
