Оригинален текст
(Jan Buckingham - Averal Aldridge)
Billy had a woman but he treated her bad
Lost the best thing he ever had
Betty got tired of being put down
So she packed her bags and left this town
Gotta love somebody if you wanna them to stay
Treat them right or they'll slip away
Slip away
Chorus
Feed the fire
Stoke the coals
You never stay warm at night
If love grows cold
Stirring it up will make that flame burn higher
If tou want love to last
Feed the fire
Falling in love will come easy for you
But staying in love us what's hard to do
A little give and take and compromise
Can help to keep your love alive
You gotta say you love him every day
Show you need him in a hundred ways
And love will stay
Chorus
Instrumental Break
