Girl on Fire

Aside from having a beautiful and sultry voice, Alicia Keys is gorgeous. That is why I am such a big fan. Since she released her debut album Songs in A Minor, I have been following her career and very happy that she is as popular as ever. Her old-school jazz sound mixed with R&B and Soul melodies is totally absorbing. Her songs Fallin, A Woman's Worth, and Why Do I Feel So Sad are like anthems. My current favorite from her is Girl on Fire from her fifth album with the same title. She sang the song last week at the Grammy's with Adam Levine and their performance is one of the highlights of the evening. Here is the lyrics:

Girl on Fire

She's just a girl, and she's on fire
Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway
She's living in a world, and it's on fire
Feeling the catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away

Oh, she got both feet on the ground
And she's burning it down
Oh, she got her head in the clouds
And she's not backing down

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire

Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls say

Oh, we got our feet on the ground
And we're burning it down
Oh, got our head in the clouds
And we're not coming down

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire

Everybody stands, as she goes by
Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
Watch her when she's lighting up the night
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world
But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire

Oh, oh, oh...

She's just a girl, and she's on fire
