A Little More Coal on the Fire
Ignite Love's Flame: Pour a Little More Coal on the Fire
Lyrics
So you thought without here it would be easy to live
Feeling that life would be easier without the partner
She wanted more than you were willing to give
Partner desired more than what was offered
Ah, but give and take and blame are all part of the flame
Acknowledging the dynamics of giving, taking, and blaming in relationships
That burns for the one you want to be with
Intense passion for the desired partner
You know a fire is hard to get started
Starting a romantic connection is challenging
And even harder to make a good one last
Maintaining a strong relationship is even more challenging
You'd better believe it's so, you're gonna wind up out in the cold
Warning of the potential consequences of relationship failure
When it all goes up in smoke and ashes
Foreseeing the end of the relationship
(CHORUS)
Refrain introducing a pivotal advice or action
You better pour a little more coal on the fire
Recommendation to invest more effort in the relationship
Send the voice she knows and loves whistlin' down the wire
Sending a heartfelt message to the partner
If it's love and it's true
Stating the importance of love and its authenticity
Oh there ain't no doubt what you gotta do
Emphasizing the clarity on what needs to be done in love
Pour a little more coal on the fire
Reiteration of investing more in the relationship
You better pour a little more coal on the fire
Repeating the call to enhance the relationship
There ain't nothing as lonely as a loser
Expressing the loneliness of someone who refuses to accept defeat
Who refuses to fold a losin' hand
Highlighting the difficulty of continuing with a losing situation
You'd better believe it's true, 'cause it's happening to you
Asserting the truth of the situation and its impact
You're gonna become a forgotten man
Predicting a future of being forgotten due to resistance
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Repeating the chorus for emphasis
I said if it's love and it's real
Stating that if love is genuine, expressing feelings is crucial
Then call her up and tell her just how you feel
Encouraging communication to convey true emotions
Pour a little more coal on the fire
Reiterating the metaphor of adding more to keep the fire alive
Just a little more love
Adding the element of love to the metaphor
Just a little more coal
Further emphasizing the need for additional effort and love
On the fire, on the fire...
Repeating the call to invest more in the relationship
