<h2>Fire in the basement</h2>

<p>
I came 'round to your front door - Your back door was locked<br>
Pushed your button, rang your bell, you didn't hear me knock<br>
Ooh baby I saw your window open wide<br>
So I crawled inside<br>
I ran on to the top floor but you were on the ground<br>
Well I was on my way up and you were going down<br>
<p>
Fire in the basement<br>
Burn me up, scream and shout<br>
There's a fire in the basement<br>
Only you can put it out<br>
<p>
This strange sensation that I'm going through<br>
Sweet infatuation when I get next to you<br>
I know what it takes to be a man<br>
You understand<br>
'Cos when the sparks start flying you'll never be the same<br>
You know I'll hate to leave you girl but I'm so glad I came<br>
<p>
Fire in the basement<br>
Burn me up, scream and shout<br>
Gotta fire in the basement yeah<br>
Only you can put it out<br>
<p>
Fire in the basement<br>
Burn me up, scream and shout<br>
Yeah-yeah-yeah<br>
Gotta fire in the basement yeah<br>
Only you can put it out<br>
<p>
Smoky eyes burning bright<br>
Innocence is lost, satisfy my appetite<br>
Ooh baby surrender to the flame<br>
What's your name?<br>
Let's get down to business, how can you refuse<br>
Give this boy a helping hand, come on light my fuse<br>
<p>
Fire in the basement<br>
Burn me up, scream and shout<br>
Gotta fire in the basement yeah<br>
And only you can put it out<br>
<p>
Gotta fire in the basement<br>
Burn me up, scream and shout<br>
Fire in the basement yeah<br>
Only you girl can put it out...<br>
<p>
Hey, d'you gotta a match?<br>
<p>
