Behind your back
Not exactly like you think
Some things, there are things that I can see
(But I know something that they don't know)
I know something that they don't know, that I can see
I know something that they don't know, and I can see it

Burning up the charts 
Blow dry me, baby (Blow dry me, baby)
Wanted to be cool, but I'm not
But the fire won't stop burning

Now help yourself (Now help yourself)
I know something that they don't know
Better watch your step
I know something that they don't know

Ooh, burning down the house (Fire)
Call your firemen (Burning)
They'll all be choking from the smoke
The fire won't stop burning

Now protect yourself
I know something that they don't know
I know something that they don't know, damn
I know something that they don't know, and I can see it

Should I be doing this?
I should not be doing this
Ow, I'm burning!
I should not be doing this
I know better than this
Ow, I'm on fire!
(The fire won't stop burning)
Burning, burning!

Burning down the house
Blow dry me, baby
Wanted to be cool, but I'm not
(I know something that they don't know)

Hot, burning up the charts
Wanted to be cool, but I'm not
(Yeah, I know something that they don't know)
You need a fan
(I know, I know something that they don't know, I know)
You really need a fan
