Cold, cold in my heart
It tears me apart
I hunger for love
How can I tell this is real
I feel so lonely
Oh so lonely, I hunger for love
Another woman in my arms again
To help me tame the fire
Lookin' over my shoulder
Shot me down in flames
You could've given me a heart attack
Shot me down in flames
I'm burning up, but there's no turning back
Shot me down in flames
Thoughts, they fill my mind
But they're unkind
A mirror of you
Lies that I can see in your eyes
Tell me you're longing
Tell me you're longing to touch my heart
I've been a fool and now I'm on my own
I never meant to hurt you
Still hear the sound of your crying
Shot me down in flames
You could've given me a heart attack
Shot me down in flames
I'm burning up, but there's no turning back
Shot me down in flames
Another woman in my arms again
To help me tame the fire
And you're still crying
Shot me down in flames
You could've given me my heart attack
Shot me down in flames
I'm burning up, but there's no turning back
Shot me down in flames
