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.

Don't put me off, 'cause I'm on fire

And I can't quench my desire

Don't you know that I'm burning up for your love

You're not convinced that that's enough

I put myself in this position

And I deserve the imposition

But you don't even know, I'm alive

And this pounding in my heart just won't die

I'm burning up

I'm burning up, burning up for your love

I'm burning up, burning up for your love

I'm burning up, burning up for your love

For your love

You're always closing your door

Well that only makes me want you more

And day and night I cry for your love

You're not convinced that, that is enough

To justify my wanting you

Now tell me what you want me to do

I'm not blind and I know

That you want to want me but you can't let go

Come on, let go, oh

I'm burning up, burning up for your love

I'm burning up, burning up for your love

I'm burning up, burning up for your love

For your love

Oh, do you wanna see me down on my knees?

Or bending over backwards now, would you be pleased?

Unlike the others, I'd do anything

I'm not the same, I have no shame

I'm on fire

Come on, let go

Do you wanna see me down on my knees?

Or bending over backwards now, would you be pleased?

Unlike the others, I'd do anything

I'm not the same, I have no shame

I'm on fire

Ooh, yeah, I'm burning up

Ooh, yeah, I'm burning up

Oh, come on, oh come on

I'm burning up

Oh oh I'm burning up

Oh yeah, I'm burning up

Oh come on, Oh come on

I'm burning up

Oh yeah, I'm burning up

Oh oh, Ahh ahh

You know you got me burning up, baby

You know you got me burning up, baby

Burning up for your love

Burning up for your love

Burning up for your love

Burning up for your love
