So you thought without her it would be easy to live She wanted more than you were willing to give Ah, give and take and blame are all part of the flame That burns for the one you want to be with You know a fire is hard to get started And even harder to make a good one last You'd better believe it's so, you're gonna wind up out in the cold When it all goes up in smoke and ashes You better pour a little more coal on the fire Send the voice she knows and loves whistlin' down the wire If it's love and it's true Oh there ain't no doubt what you gotta do Pour a little more coal on the fire You better pour a little more coal on the fire ♪ There ain't nothing as lonely as a loser Who refuses to fold a losin' hand You'd better believe it's true, 'cause it's a'happenin' to you You're gonna become a forgotten man You better pour a little more coal on the fire Send the voice she knows and loves whistlin' down the wire If it's love and it's true Oh there ain't no doubt what you gotta do Pour a little more coal on the fire I said, "If it's love and it's real" Then call her up and tell her just how you feel Pour a little more coal on the fire Just a little more love Just a little more coal On the fire, on the fire A little more coal on the fire You better pour a little more coal on the fire C'mon you better pour a little more coal on the fire She knows and loves whistlin' down the wire A little more coal on the fire On the fire, on the fire
