Lyrics

(Ooh, ooh) I thought that fire with fire would burn the problem quicker (ooh, ooh)
But all this good advice, his hair just grows back thicker (ooh, ooh!)
And if I take my own advice the worst just gets here quicker (ooh, ooh!)
So what's it all supposed to do?
This fire eats fire and the fire's in you

And I have nothing here for you
All this water's gone and you
You've done nothing here for me, except I know that I can't breathe
And we were talkin' all weekend, I guess I'm mad because I am!
And I've tried this all before, just in my head I'm in control

Which is why the music died
And we're living out our lives in this hope one day our lives will straighten out!
And we'll leave town
And we'll get down to business now, will someone tell me who I am?

It's always been a little hard, I wish that you could meet her
This woman that you have become, you know that she's a keeper
Except you keep her under wraps in case someone should break her
It's dirty in this world, it's true
I wish I could and she does too

And I have nothing here for you
All this water's gone and you
You've done nothing here for me, except I know that I can't breathe
And we were talkin' all weekend, I guess I'm mad because I am!
And I've tried this all before, just in my head I'm in control

Which is why the music died
We're living out our lives in this hope one day our lives will straighten out!
And we'll leave town
And we'll get down to business now, will someone tell me who I am?

I believe the good wore out and pain does have it's purpose
It seems a little silly now, that you would just desert us
I know that everything you do, things happen for a reason
But give me something good, a sign, I need something to believe in!

And I have nothing here for you
All this water's gone and you
You've done nothing here for me, except I know that I can't breathe
And we were talkin' all weekend, I guess I'm mad because I am!
And I've tried this all before, just in my head I'm in control

Which is why the music died
We're living out our lives in this hope one day our love will straighten out!
And we'll leave town
And we'll get down to business now, will someone tell me who I am?
