Lyrics

[Intro: Nina Persson] Fightin' fire with fire [Verse 1: Tom Jones, Tom Jones & Nina Persson] Watch out, you might get what you're after Cool babies, strange but not a stranger I'm an ordinary guy Burning down the house [Verse 2: Tom Jones, Nina Persson, both] Hold tight, wait 'til the party's over Hold tight, we're in for nasty weather There has got to be a way Burning down the house [Chorus: Tom Jones, Nina Persson] Here's your ticket, pack your bags, time for jumpin' overboard The transportation is here Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are Fightin' fire with fire [Verse 3: Tom Jones, Tom Jones & Nina Persson] All wet, yeah, you might need a raincoat Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight Three hundred sixty-five degrees Burning down the house [Chorus 2: Tom Jones, Nina Persson] It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself Gonna come in first place People on their way to work, baby, what did you expect? Gonna burst into flame [Bridge: Nina Persson, Tom Jones] Fighting fire with fire Fighting fire with fire Burning down the house [Verse 4: Tom Jones, Nina Persson, both] My house, s'out of the ordinary That's right, don't want to hurt nobody Some things sure can sweep me off my feet Burning down the house [Verse 5: Tom Jones, Nina Persson, both] Watch out, you might get what you're after Cool babies, strange but not a stranger I am, I'm an ordinary guy (girl) Three hundred sixty-five degrees (Burning down the house) [Bridge: Tom Jones, Nina Persson] Fightin' fire with fire Fightin' fire with fire Gonna burst into flame Fightin' fire with fire Fightin' fire with fire Fightin' fire with fire Gonna burst into flame (Burning down the house) My house (Burning down the house) [Verse 6: Tom Jones, Tom Jones & Nina Persson] No visible means of support, and you have not seen nothing yet Everything's stuck together I don't know what you expect staring into your TV set Fighting fire with fire (Burning down the house) (Ooh, burning down the house)
