I'd heard rumors and I'd heard talk
   About the trail you'd left of broken hearts
   About the sea of tears too wide to cross
   But a little bad press has never scared me off
   So I burned a path to figure out
   How to get me some of what you got
  
   I've got a red hot heart
   If the talk is true your's is the same
   And we should be together
   And let our passions fan love's flame
  
   When I looked for you I almost passed you by
   You were so cool and calm I thought my friends had lied
   But I thought so much reserve must make you wild inside
   It was there and then that I knew I had to get some of what you got
  
   I've got a red hot heart
   If the talk is true your's is the same
   And we should be together
   And let our passions fan love's flame
  
   I thought I'd won your heart when I held you hand in mine
   I thought it was true love the way we complemented each other
   But my right is your wrong
   And when you're right then I'm left with nothing
   Your light and your heat have all been spent
   Leaving only smoke and ashes
   Only smoke and ashes baby
  
   I've got a red hot heart
   Any your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
   I say there's fire down below
   You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
  
   I'm crying all the time
   Salty stinging tears
   And mourning for the past carbon-dated years
   But knowing now for certain that you were always right
   Because if a breeze could blow you out of my life
   It's only smoke and ashes baby
   Only smoke and ashes baby
  
   I've got a red hot heart
   And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
   I say there's fire down below
   You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
  
   I was blinded by devotion
   My unwavering love for you
   So blinded that I thought all your lies were true
   But now I know for certain since you've gone away
   It was jsut a smoldering fire I mistook for a blaze
   Only smoke and ashes baby
  
   I've got a red hot heart
   And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
   I say there's fire down below
   You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
   Only smoke and ashes baby, baby ...
