Lyrics

If you see my boy who's lost out in the woods Would you tell him I'll be home soon If he cries, hold him for as long as you can If he laughs, you can laugh too Oh, I told him I didn't know about love He said "come close to the fire" Oh, I swear I never knew a thing about love Now I'll never put out this fire If you see me on my way to town You might notice I am crying Would you look at these things that I carry around? Just look at this stuff that I'm buying Now, if I was smart, I'd be with my boy Where it's clear and fresh and lovely But I traded it all for a painted toy 'Cause I didn't believe he loved me So if you boy who's lost out in the woods Would you tell him I'll be home soon If he cries, hold him for as long as you can If he laughs, you can laugh too Oh, I told him you I didn't know about love You said "come close to the fire" And I swear you'll never know a thing about love 'Til you can't put out this fire 'Til you can't put out this fire
