Don't Fan the Flame (feat. Mel Torme) - Peggy Lee, Mel Torme

Don’t fan the flame, don’t fan the flame

Don’t fan the flame of love

I must admit you’ve got a way about you

But something here keeps warning me to doubt you

So don’t fan the flame, don’t fan the flame

Don’t fan the flame of love

You’ve got a kiss that makes me thrill all over

But I’ve a hunch you’re nothing but a rover

So don’t fan the flame, don’t fan the flame

Don’t fan the flame of love

It seems I never play upon the side that’s winning

'Cause Lady Luck never was my friend

Each time I think it’s gonna be the sweet beginning

It turns out to be the bitter end

I should forget how much I seem to need you

Because I know where love like this can lead you

So don’t fan the flame, don’t fan the flame

Don’t fan the flame of love

There’s not another one who can hold a candle

You’re dynamite, anyone can see

But dynamite at times gets mighty hard to handle

And that’s not the kind of game for me

I should forget how much I seem to need you

Because I know where love like this can lead you

So don’t fan the flame, don’t fan the flame

Don’t fan the flame of love

Don’t fan the flame, don’t fan the flame

Don’t fan the flame, don’t fan the flame

Don’t fan the flame of love

So don’t fan the flame, don’t fan the flame

Don’t fan the flame of love
