    "The Only Flam in Town" Lyrics

    I know a girl got my mind in a mess

    I never heard her say goodnight and God bless

    She's not the only flame in town

    And when we're alone, we never quarrel

    I'm miles away, now here's the moral

    She's not the only flame in town

    She's not the only flame in town

    She's got to stop thinking that I'm carrying this torch around

    He struck a match and it lit up her face

    We should have struck a match, girl

    To burn down the whole place

    Now you're not the only flame in town

    But you blew hot and cold

    Turned my heart to a cinder

    And with each passing day

    You're less tender and more tinder

    Now you're not the only flame in town

    She's not the only flame in town

    She's got to stop thinking that I'm carrying this torch around

    You're not the only flame

    You're not the only flame

    Thought I saw your face in the fire

    But it's so hard to remember

    Even an inferno can cool down to an ember

    Now you're not the only flame

    You're not the only flame

    You're not the only flame in town
