I know a girl got my mind in a mess
I never heard her say goodnight and God bless
She's not the only flame in town

And when we're alone we never quarrel
I'm miles away now here's the moral
She's not the only flame in town


She's not the only flame in town
She's got to stop thinking that I'm

carrying this torch around

He struck a match and it lit up her face

We should have struck a match girl
To burn down the whole place
Now you're not the only flame in town


But you blew hot and cold
Turned my heart to a cinder

And with each passing day
You'd be less tender and more tinder
Now you're not the only flame in town


She's not the only flame in town
She's got to stop thinking that I'm

carrying this torch around

Thought I saw your face in the fire

But it's so hard to remember
Even an inferno can cool down to an ember
Now you're not the only flame

You're not the only flame
You're not the only flame in town
