[Verse 1] I was cool as a Cadillac, parked in the shade Black shirt, slick hair, lookin’ half my age Then you walked by with that lightning grin And the whole damn room started closing in You had red on your lips, gold on your wrist Moved like a match with a gasoline kiss I took one step, tried to play it smooth But the floor caught fire when I looked at you I said, “Lord have mercy,” under my breath You said, “Boy, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet” Then the band kicked in, and my heart cut loose Now I got smoke comin’ out of my shoes [Pre-Chorus] I tried to sit down I tried to slow it But the beat got mean And you already know it Heat in my hands Trouble in twos If you keep dancing like that There’s nothing I can do [Chorus] I got fire in my shoes Fire in my chest Heart beating hard Like it’s trying to leave my vest I got fire in my shoes Honey, blame it on you I was doing just fine Till you walked in the room Now I’m hot, hot, hotter than a July roof Got me spinning like a record with a blown-out fuse I got fire in my shoes Fire in my shoooes-oh-oh [Verse 2] You got the kind of walk that should come with a fine Make a preacher lose track of his Sunday line Got a smile so sharp it could cut a song And a laugh that makes a man act wrong I was talking big with a little cool lean Like a movie star in a bowling alley scene Then you pulled me close, said, “Don’t get scared” I said, “Too late, baby, I’m halfway there” Now the jukebox jumped and the lights went red Tambourine shaking like it heard what you said I got no plan, got no excuse Just smoke in my jacket and fire in my shoes [Pre-Chorus] I tried to sit down I tried to slow it But the beat got mean And you already know it Heat in my hands Trouble in twos If you keep dancing like that There’s nothing I can do [Chorus] I got fire in my shoes Fire in my chest Heart beating hard Like it’s trying to leave my vest I got fire in my shoes Honey, blame it on you I was doing just fine Till you walked in the room Now I’m hot, hot, hotter than a July roof Got me spinning like a record with a blown-out fuse I got fire in my shoes Fire in my shoooes-oh-oh [Bridge] Somebody call the doctor Somebody call the law Somebody tell my mama I ain’t comin’ home at all Somebody stop the drummer Before he breaks the floor Somebody tell that woman Quit making me want more [Final Chorus] I got fire in my shoes Fire in my chest Heart beating hard Like it’s trying to leave my vest I got fire in my shoes Honey, blame it on you I was doing just fine Till you walked in the room Now I’m hot, hot, hotter than a July roof Got me spinning like a record with a blown-out fuse I got fire in my shoes Fire in my shoooes-oh-oh
