Comin' Under Fire Lyrics
Your kind of woman gotta heart of stone
But watch it break when I get you alone
Take a chance, come lay down with me
Oh, I wanna make it
Slow and steady never lost the race
Don't stop runnin', I'm a fool for the chase
Play the game, surrender to me
Baby, I don't wanna fake it
Is it any wonder, you got me comin' under fire?
Comin' like thunder, you know you make me walk the wire
It's so easy to put on a show
Your body says yes but you won't let it go
But my passion won't let it slip away
Oh am I goin' crazy?
Is it any wonder, you got me comin' under fire?
Comin' like thunder, you know you make me walk the wire
Under fire
You got me comin'
(Under fire)
((Under fire))
You got me comin'
(Under fire)
((Under fire))
Ooh yeah
I'm comin'
(Under fire)
But your body says yes but baby please let it go
Let it go
Ooh yeah
Whoah yeah
You got me, I'm cornered, my back to the wall
No bed of roses, ain't no bed at all
I'm walkin' the wire, I stumble and fall
I got the message but I ain't gonna crawl
Is it any wonder, you got me comin' under fire?
Comin' like thunder, you know you make me walk the wire
Is it any wonder
(Is it any wonder)
You got me comin' under fire?
(You got me comin' under fire?)
Comin' like thunder
(Comin' like thunder)
You know you make me walk the wire
(You know you make me walk the wire)
(Under fire)
You got me comin'
(Under fire)
((Under fire))
Got me comin'
(Under fire)
((Under fire))
Oh yeah I'm comin
(Under fire)
((Under fire))
Ooh yeah I'm comin'
(Under fire)
But watch it break when I get you alone
Take a chance, come lay down with me
Oh, I wanna make it
Slow and steady never lost the race
Don't stop runnin', I'm a fool for the chase
Play the game, surrender to me
Baby, I don't wanna fake it
Is it any wonder, you got me comin' under fire?
Comin' like thunder, you know you make me walk the wire
It's so easy to put on a show
Your body says yes but you won't let it go
But my passion won't let it slip away
Oh am I goin' crazy?
Is it any wonder, you got me comin' under fire?
Comin' like thunder, you know you make me walk the wire
Under fire
You got me comin'
(Under fire)
((Under fire))
You got me comin'
(Under fire)
((Under fire))
Ooh yeah
I'm comin'
(Under fire)
But your body says yes but baby please let it go
Let it go
Ooh yeah
Whoah yeah
You got me, I'm cornered, my back to the wall
No bed of roses, ain't no bed at all
I'm walkin' the wire, I stumble and fall
I got the message but I ain't gonna crawl
Is it any wonder, you got me comin' under fire?
Comin' like thunder, you know you make me walk the wire
Is it any wonder

You got me comin' under fire?
(You got me comin' under fire?)
Comin' like thunder
(Comin' like thunder)
You know you make me walk the wire

You got me comin'

To me, this song is about a guy wanting a girl, but she shows no signs of feeling the same. He just wants one chance with her, to show her how he feels, and I quote; "You kind of woman got a heart of stone, but watch it break when i get you alone". This is one awesome song, from start to finish, very moving.
I understand about how this guy wants the girl to give him on chance, but the part "Got me comin under fire" really doesnt fit the bill. Oh well it is still a dope ass song
comin' under fire part might be that she ain't gonna take him so he feels himself comin under fire...oh well...great song
Don't be so naive people...these lyrics are carefully contrived to get around radio censorship...yeh lyrics are about a woman whose hard-to-get act has him comin'. (in case you didn't notice the "under fire" bit is an afterthought, even the way it's sung).
@Poodie25 I'm inclined to agree. The second line reinforces this interpretation: "Coming like thunder..." Eg. the "coming" vs "coming under fire" ambiguity is swiftly decided by this description of just hard she makes him come.
