Story Behind The Song
I liked to sing songs about women who could and would stand up for themselves, so I wrote those songs.

Lyrics
CANNED HEAT
Ignore me now, and I might blow!
I'm dynamite set to explode!
I need attention; yes, it's true.
Ignoring me might damage you.
I'm Cannned Heat!
I best not wake tomorrow,
And find that I'm without'chu,
'Cause, just in case you do not know,
Ignite comes after pout!
CHORUS:
I'm canned heat! Oh, yes, I am, Baby.
I'm canned heat! I hope that someday maybe
This canned heat might warrant your attention.
I'm canned heat! I'm telling you, you better listen!
So if you want to set my fuse,
You'll snub me one more time. Yeah!
But just remember, you have put
Your backside on the line.
I feel that you should understand
The danger that you face.
Combustion takes place in my heart
When pain speeds up its pace.
CHORUS
