Danny Kortchmar - Burnt Child Lyrics

They said experience; the greatest teacher of them all
And the bigger they come sometimes
The harder they fall

So don’t get burnt by your own desire
‘cause burnt child is afraid of fire
everybody knows that a burnt child
Sure now feels afraid of fire

when you’re out in the world
waiting on those lucky breaks
you must learn learn learn
from your own mistakes

when you flow thought a craps game
when we roll the dice now
you got to remember never never never
make the same mistake twice

and don’t get burnt by your own desire
‘cause a burnt child is afraid of fire
everybody knows that a burnt child
Sure now feels afraid of fire
fire fire

now look the way you left me baby
You know you should be ashamed
but now you come around here
trying to fan the same old flame

but I won’t get burnt by my own desire
‘cause a burnt child is afraid of fire
everybody knows that a burnt child
Sure now feels afraid of fire

burnt child is afraid of fire
he remember to stay away from that flame
once he has been burnt
everybody knows that a burnt child
everybody knows that a burnt child
everybody knows that a burnt child
has got to be afraid of fire
