I Smell Smoke

I smell smoke
You must be burnin' me behind my back
I smell smoke
You must be burnin' me behind my back

For I can't see the fire
All filled in flame
I found a matchbox
With another man's name, oh yeah

Baby, it's no joke
I smell smoke

What can a man do
When good luck turn to bad?
What can a man do
When he loses everything he ever had?

I can't feel the heat
But I see it in your eyes
When we're talkin' over
All I get is lies, yeah

Baby, it's no joke
I smell smoke

It's a hell of a price
That I have to pay
Working for you
Every night and day

Deep in the night
When I turn to you
I feel my worst fears
Have come true

I smell smoke
When you think you're alone
And there's nobody looking

I smell smoke
In the middle of the night
When I know nobody is cooking

You can play it down
And hide it with perfume
I smell something burning
When you're walking through the room, yeah

It's no joke
I smell smoke

Oh, yeah
Baby, it's no joke
I smell smoke
