I smell smoke
You must be burning me behind my back
I smell smoke
You must be burning me behind my back
I can't see the fire,
but I feel the flame
I found the man spark
in another man's name, oh yeah!

Just before you spoke
I smell smoke

What can a man do?
When a good girl turns to bad
What can a man do?
When he's lost everything he ever had
I can't feel the heat,
but I'm seeing in your eyes
When we're talkin over
all I get these lies, oh yeah!

Baby it's no joke
I smell smoke

There's a heavy price
that I have to pay
working for you
every night and day
Deep in the night
when I turn to you
I feel my worst fears
have come true

I smell smoke
when you think you're alone
and nobody is looking, yeah...

I smell smoke
in the middle of the night
and I know nobody is cooking, yeah...

You can play you down
hide it with perfume
I smell something burning
and you're walking through, oh yeah!

Baby it's no joke
I smell smoke

Oh yeah!

Baby it's no joke
I smell smoke
