[Verse 1]
I came around to your front door, your back door was locked
Pushed your button, rang your bell, you didn't hear me knock
I saw your window open wide, so I crawled inside
I ran to the top floor, but you were on the ground
I was on my way up and you were going down
[Chorus]
Fire in the basement
Burn me up, scream and shout
There's fire in the basement
Only you can put it out
[Verse 2]
This strange sensation that I'm going through
Sweet infatuation when I get next to you
I know what it takes to be a man, you understand
Because when the sparks start flying you'll never be the same
You know I'll hate to leave you girl but I'm so glad I came
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Smoky eyes burning bright
Innocence lost, satisfy my appetite
Surrender to the flame, what's your name
Let's get down to business, how can you refuse
Give this boy a helping hand, come on light my fuse
