Lyrics to Sparks Fly:
The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You say my name for the first time, baby
And I fall in love in an empty bar
And you stood there in front of me just
Close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes
Baby, as the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me
When you're not around
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
So reach out open handed
And lead me out to that floor
Well I don't need more paper lanterns
Take me down, baby bring on the movie star
Cause my heart is beating fast
And you are beautiful
I could wait patiently but
I really wish you would
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes
Baby, as the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me
When you're not around
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
I run my fingers through your hair
And watch the lights go out
Just keep your beautiful eyes on me
Gonna strike this match tonight
Lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow
I'd love to hate it
But you make it like a fireworks show
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes
Baby as the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me
when you're not around
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
Sparks fly, baby smile, sparks fly

Prior to its single release, the song debuted at number seventeen on the Billboard Hot 100 due to strong digital sales.
