Well I fin'lly got your letter today
I think I understand what you had to say
Message came through loud and clear
You've got to get away from me and away from here
I tell myself I'm over you, then I'm just a liar
'Cause ev'rytime I think of you it fills me with desire
Love is like a burning flame, keeps on getting higher
And I, I can't put out this fire,
Can't put out this fire
Well I don't know what went wrong with you and me
Sometimes you get so close you just can't see
Now I'm out here standin' in the rain
Thinkin' 'bout us and livin' with the pain
If I could only talk to you, then you'd understand
If I could hold you close to me you'd know I'm still your man
Love is like a burning flame, keeps on getting higher
And I, I can't put out this fire,
Can't put out this fire
You know breaking up is harder than it sounds
People leave, but love still hangs around
The memories refuse to go away
They follow you and haunt you, night and day
Love like ours will never die, can't put out this fire
'Cause when I think of you and I, it fills me with desire
Love is like a burning flame, keeps on getting higher
And I, I can't put out this fire,
Can't put out this fire
Can't put out this fire.
