like wildfire

pleasure is her business

she's the one to meet

she'll shoot the eye out of the buzzing fly

and she won't miss a beat

she likes to press wild flowers

and read edgar allan poe

it doesn't do to get too close

or else your love will start to grow

she's like fire

like wildfire like wildfire like wildfire

you'll find her in big cities

living on the run

she's got a smile like a crocodile

she's just having fun

she'll take a hand at poker

she's never known to lose

she plays the bottleneck guitar

you know she loves those delta blues

she's like fire

like wildfire like wildfire like wildfire

and ever since i saw her first i love her

sitting in that small cafe at dawn

i didn't have the nerve

to introduce myself just then

so i looked her way again

sitting there with all her friends

i knew i'd never win her heart

pleasure is her business

she's the girl to see

she'll take a flight in the middle of the night

just for somewhere new to be

she wont discuss the future

she wont discuss the past

she's trying to find the beat before

that one that's going to last
