A motel match
Started the fire
Started the fire
Hotter and higher
A motel match
Started the fire
Started the fire
For you and me
This June's afternoon
Afraid we would be seen
You were only twenty-two
I was seventeen
We were old enough to know
We have to love each other
Tracking of the feeling
Never closing the covers
A motel match
Started the fire
Started the fire
Hotter and higher
A motel match
Started the fire
Started the fire
For you and me
No one will ever know
No one will ever tell
How the flame's got started
In that out of town motel
I'm not saying that it's right
Ah, but who could say it's wrong?
Our first love together
Keeps burning on and on
A motel match
Started the fire
Started the fire
Hotter and higher
A motel match
Started the fire
Started the fire
For you and me
A motel match
Started the fire
Started the fire
Hotter and higher
A motel match
Started the fire
Started the fire
For you and me
