Bright young flame, If it's all the same to you, I'd really like to know your name When you're brought up right, It makes it kinda hard, To see your good intentions, Go from pure to black and then charred I lied, she cried, Baby your goin' down, What's your name? If it's all the same to you, I'd really like to know your name They say that lightining never strikes,
In' the same place twice, But if you keep goin', the way that you do, You're gonna need some leagal advice My mama told me, Take a path that's narrow and straight, 'Cause a fall can take your whole life, Bend it all out of shape I failed, she wailed, Baby your goin' down, What's your name? Bright young flame, If it's all the same to you, I'd really like to know your name What's your name? Bright young flame, If it's all the same to you, I'd really like to know your name
