Lyrics:
You set your sights on me one night
When I was sad and lonely
We sang a song and before too long
I was thinkin' of you only
You were soft and nice, I did not think twice
'Cause attention I was cravin'
Without much ado, I ran straight through
The red flags you were wavin'
Hell hath no fire like blind desire
It's too late soon as it catches
Out of hand like a broken dam
Or gasoline to matches
I jumped right in when you pulled the pin
My higher self denyin'
Like a moth to flame, I set my aim
On the red flags you were flyin'
Now you won't return and the silence burns
Of a warning I'm reminded
"Be careful how you court" and now
With bitter tears I'm blinded
If l'd been whole in my mind and soul
I'da never dreamt of throwin'
My heart at you but I dove into
The red flags you were showin'
When I was young, seems I had no one
And my natural state was wishin'
You were like daylight after dark of night
Thought you had what I was missin'
You dressed my wounds and you learned my tunes
And I thought I needed savin'
From a self-waged war, so I ran straight for
The red flags you were wavin'
