I Love Playin' With Fire
Runaways Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stick with me and I'll take you far
Your eyes are sparkling with teenage fire
I'll satisfy your made desires cause
I love playing with fire
And I don't wanna get burned
I love playing with fire
My heart is aching to see you play
And I can't wait till another day
The way you shake me is really hot
You know how to use what you got
I love playing with fire
And I don't wanna get burned
I love playing with fire
And I don't think I'll ever learn
Acting tough with looks that kill
You got me going and I can't stand still
My arms are dying to hold ya tight
You're my little dark dynamite you know
I love playing with fire
And I don't wanna get burned
I love playing with fire
And I don't think I'll ever learn
In "I Love Playin' With Fire," Runaways sing about being infatuated with someone who brings out the wild, adventurous side of them. The song's narrator has found a kindred spirit who understands their desire to push boundaries and take risks, and they're reveling in the excitement that comes with that. Despite the potential danger, they can't resist the thrill of playing with fire and being with this person.
The opening lines, "My one and only shining star said/Stick with me and I'll take you far," suggest that the singer sees their partner as a guide or mentor of sorts, someone who can introduce them to new experiences and help them grow. The partner's "teenage fire" matches the singer's own, and there's a sense of mutual admiration and understanding.
The chorus, with its repetitive line "I love playing with fire/And I don't wanna get burned," is a perfect encapsulation of the song's theme. It's a classic example of the "bad boy/girl" trope, where the thrill of danger outweighs any potential consequences. The singer is fully aware that they're taking a risk by being with this person, but they're willing to do it anyway.
Overall, "I Love Playin' With Fire" is a fun, catchy song that captures the rebellious spirit of youth. It's a celebration of taking risks and living in the moment, even if it means getting burned.
