Britney Spears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're so bright
Like a dream
You burn up
Everything
We might make a scene
Ignite gasoline
And the sun goes down
Lightning strikes
And I'm on the ground
Only one that I want around
Is you
Yeah
Spark and it's like gasoline
I start purring like a machine
My heart only runs on supreme
So hot, give me your gasoline
Yeah
You set me on fire
You set me on fire
You set me on fire
Yeah
You set me on fire
You set me on fire
You set me on fire
Yeah
Heat wave
On the floor
Escape, exit door
Your touch, burning me
Is too much, gasoline
When the music goes up
And the sun goes down
Lightning strikes
And I'm on the ground
Only one that I want around
Is you
Yeah
Spark and it's like gasoline
I start purring like a machine
My heart only runs on supreme
So hot, give me your gasoline
Yeah
You set me on fire
You set me on fire
You set me on fire
Yeah
You set me on fire
You set me on fire
You set me on fire
Yeah
Yeah, damn boy, what you do to me?
Yeah
You set me on fire
Yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Spark and it's like gasoline
I start purring like a machine
My heart only runs on supreme
So hot, give me your gasoline
Yeah
You set me on fire
You set me on fire
You set me on fire
Yeah
You set me on fire
You set me on fire
You set me on fire
Yeah, aww
