Play With Fire

Well, you've got your diamonds
And you've got your pretty clothes
And the chauffeur drives your cars
You let everybody know
 
But don't play with me
'Cause you're playing with fire
 
Your mother she's an heiress
Owns a block in Saint John's Wood
And your father'd be there with her
If he only could
 
But don't play with me
'Cause you're playing with fire
 
Your old man took her diamonds
And tiaras by the score
Now she gets her kicks in Stepney
Not in Knightsbridge anymore
 
So don't play with me
'Cause you're playing with fire
 
Now you've got some diamonds
And you will have some others
But you'd better watch your step, girl
Or start living with your mother
 
So don't play with me
'Cause you're playing with fire
So don't play with me
'Cause you're playing with fire

Annotations

Saint John's Wood: St John's Wood is a district in the City of Westminster, London, lying 2.5 miles (4 km) northwest of Charing Cross. (Wikipedia)

Stepney: Stepney is a district in the East End of London. The area was built up rapidly in the 19th century, mainly to accommodate immigrant workers and displaced London poor, and developed a reputation for poverty, overcrowding, violence and political dissent. In the 1960s, slum clearance and development replaced most residential streets with tower blocks and modern housing estates

Knightsbridge: Knightsbridge is a residential and retail district in central London. Knightsbridge is home to many expensive shops. (Wikipedia)
