About the Artist
Lyrics
[Intro: Kesha] Ooh [Verse 1: Kesha, with Dolly Parton] Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who I used to take comfort from long before I met you I caught a spark in his eyes of forgotten desire With a word or a touch, I could have rekindled that fire [Chorus: Kesha & Dolly Parton] But old flames can't hold a candle to you No one can light up the night like you do Flickering embers of love I've known one or two But old flames can't hold a candle to you [Post-Chorus: Kesha, Dolly Parton] Oh, yeah Ooh [Verse 2: Dolly Parton, Kesha, Both] But sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've known And I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone (Feel so alone) Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone Like stars in the night, lost in the sweet light of dawn Oh, oh [Chorus: Kesha & Dolly Parton, Kesha] But old flames can't hold a candle to you No one can light up the night like you do Flickering embers of love I've known one or two But old flames can't hold a candle to you But old flames can't hold a candle to you [Outro: Kesha, Dolly Parton] Oh, yeah (Mmm), oh, oh, yeah Oh, oh (Oh), oh Oh, oh, yeah Can't hold (To you) a candle to you, candle to you (Oh, yeah) Old flames (Oh, yeah), old flames (Oh, yeah) Old flames (Oh, oh), old flames (Oh, yeah) Can't hold a candle to you
