Can't Hold a Candle Copyright © Maureen Kelly Verse 1 Flammable faces of romances gone by Torch song to lovers got that look in his eye The pyro generation hunk a burnin love But don't worry baby enough is enough Chorus He can't hold a candle to you, no He can't hold a candle to you, no oh He can't hold a candle to you, no He can't hold a candle to you Verse 2 More hearts to kindle the moth to the flame A wicked woman when they all catch the same No certain cremation for the next one in line Doused with tender enrapture you're too hard to light Chorus Bridge Heart of asbestos the only proof Test is to look at a full scrap book Too late to drink from the pure and chaste A lover not smothered may ignite someday Chorus
