     Beth Hart(born January 24, 1972) is an American singer, songwriter and musician from Los Angeles, California. She rose to fame with the release of her 1999 single "LA Song (Out of This Town)" from her second album Screamin' for My Supper. The single was a number one hit in New Zealand, as well as reaching the top 5 of the US Adult Contemporary and Top 10 on the Billboard Adult Top 40 charts.

       The albums Seesaw and Live in Amsterdam by Hart and Joe Bonamassa debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Blues Album Chart, a chart she has now topped six times. Hart has had two number 1 singles in Denmark, "As Good as It Gets" and "Learning to Live", as well a double platinum-selling album, Leave the Light On.

       Hart's first album with Bonamassa, Don't Explain, went gold in the Netherlands, while their 2014 collaboration Seesaw was nominated for a Grammy Award, and gave Hart her first Blues Music Award nomination in the category 'Best Contemporary Blues Female Artist'.

         Fire on the Floor is the eighth solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Beth Hart. It was released on October 14, 2016 in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, and February 3, 2017 in the rest of the world.

        Hart wrote and recorded the songs for Fire on the Floor before the songs for her previous album Better Than Home was mixed. Hart recorded with some musicians she had not performed with before, such as Michael Landau and Waddy Wachtel on electric guitar, and they recorded sixteen songs in three days, although the mixing took much longer. Other artists performing on the album are Jim Cox on piano, Dean Parks on acoustic guitar, Brian Allen on bass, Rick Marotta on drums, and Ivan Neville on the Hammond B3.

        The album was Produced by Oliver Leiber and recorded by Niko Bolas. It debuted at Nº 1 on the Billboard Blues Albums Chart, becoming her sixth number one album overall.

Love is a lie

Sucking you dry

Love's not a friend

Until the end

 

You can call it a game

You can choose your own name

When it's stuck in the vein

There's no greater pain

 

I've got a bell but no sound

I've got a horse, but no hound

And I know why, know why

 

Love is a lie

Love is a lie

Love is a lie

And I know I'm going down

 

Now there was a time

Love was blowing my mind

Not a tear, not a doubt

'Til I figured it out

 

Now I'm madder than hell

Love is wagging its tail

I holler, I cry

Love is a lie

 

I've got a bell with no ring

I've got a whip, but no spank

And I know why, know why...

 

Love is a lie

Love is a lie

Love is a lie

And I know I'm going...

You can call it a game

But there's no greater pain

When it's stuck in the vein

I know I'm going down

 

I've got a bell, but no sound

I've got a horse, but no hound

And I know why, know why I'm going down.
