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 is 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

Refrain:
I'm burning up, burning up for your love
for your love

You're always closing your door
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
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

Refrain

I'm burning up, burning up for your love
for your love

do you wanna see me down on my knees
or bending over backwards now would you be pleased
unlike others I'd do anything
I'm not the same I have no shame

I'm on fire

Refrain
I know it

I don't know why I thought that I could make you happy
these tears I cry for you are so hopeless, yeah
I don't know why I thought that we were going somewhere
but you grabbed your coat and you were out the door
and I know you don't care

Refrain

I know you're gonna take you love and run
I know you think I'm the foolish one
I know you're gonna turn around and say
goodbye

I used to think you were my pretty angel
comin' down
well now you've just proven me wrong
what about the letters we have written
all the things we've said and done
I'll just stand here while you count the battles
you have one

Refrain


but I'm not going to cry for you
cause that's what you want me to do
no I'm not gonna cry for you anymore

Refrain

take your love and run from me
is this the way love's supposed to be
you don't think I can see
but you can't fool me

but I'm not gonna cry for you
cause thats what you want me to do
no I'm not gonna cry for you anymore

Refrain
