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
