Burning Up

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You shoot like a star

You're coming my way

You're coming my way

A rose through the dark

I don't feel the pain

I don't feel the pain

Sometimes I think about you

Maybe we could do it

I heard you say you've got that

You need to prove it

I'm bored of all these dudes

I think I need some new shit

Give me that new shit

Tonight

I want a piece so dumb and young and stupid

Let's get a baby like a fire tonight

Boy get my t-shirt where we're light and fluid

Let's strike a match

Let's burn it up

Oohoohoohoohoo yeah

I'm burnin'

Oohoohoohoohoo yeah

I'm burnin'

Oohoohoohoohoo yeah

I'm burnin'

Oohoohoohoohoo yeah

I'm burning up

You're smoking me up

Let's dance in the flames

Let's dance in the flames

And after tonight

We won't be the same

We won't be the same

Sometimes I think about you

Maybe we could do it

I heard you say you've got that

You need to prove it

I'm bored of all these dudes

I think I need some new shit

Give me that new shit

Tonight

I want a piece so dumb and young and stupid

Let's get a baby like a fire tonight

Boy get my t-shirt where we're light and fluid

Let's strike a match

Let's burn it up

Oohoohoohoohoo yeah

I'm burnin'

Oohoohoohoohoo yeah

I'm burnin'

Oohoohoohoohoo yeah

I'm burnin'

Oohoohoohoohoo yeah

I'm burning up

I'm burning

I'm burning

I'm burning u-u-up

I'm burning

I'm burning

I'm burning u-u-up

U-u-up

Tonight

I want a piece so dumb and young and stupid

Let's get a baby like a fire tonight

Boy get my t-shirt where we're light and fluid

Let's strike a match

Let's burn it up

Oohoohoohoohoo yeah

I'm burnin'

Oohoohoohoohoo yeah

I'm burnin'

Oohoohoohoohoo yeah

I'm burnin'

Oohoohoohoohoo yeah

I'm burning up
