I'd heard rumors and I'd heard talk. About the trail you'd left of broken hearts. About the sea of tears too wide to cross. But a little bad press has never scared me off. So I burned a path to figure out. How to get me some of what you got. I've got a red hot heart. If the talk is true your's is the same. And we should be together. And let our passions fan love's flame. When I looked for you I almost passed you by. You were so cool and calm I thought my friends had lied. But I thought so much reserve must make you wild inside. It was there and then that I knew I had to get some of what you got. I've got a red hot heart. If the talk is true your's is the same. And we should be together.

Only smoke and ashes baby. I've got a red hot heart. And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins. I say there's fire down below. You say it's only smoke and ashes baby. I was blinded by devotion. My unwavering love for you. So blinded that I thought all your lies were true. But now I know for certain since you've gone away. It was just a smoldering fire I mistook for a blaze. Only smoke and ashes baby. I've got a red hot heart. And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins. I say there's fire down below. You say it's only smoke and ashes baby. Only smoke and ashes baby baby ...
