Burning Up

Would you believe me

If I said I'd never lie

Though it ain't easy

I can tell you I have tried

But I got to say

That it comes those days

That I told something untrue

Would you forgive me

If I said I'd lied to you

This is my fear

To tell you what I've done

As things come clear

I'm afraid that you'll be gone

But all I know

Is if you go

At least I've told what's true

Hope you'll forgive me

When I say I've lied to you

I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

Yes I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

How will you kill me

For what I'm about to tell

Please do it gently

'Cause you know I'm bound for hell

All I know is

I've lost my soul

I'm burning inside

Hope you'll forgive me

Yes I have lied

Oh yes I've lied

I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

Yes I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

Now you know that I've gone

And I've been untrue to you

And once it's told

Well you know there's nothing we can do

I regret that I let this get so out of hand

I pray, please stay, that you'll understand

I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

Yes I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

I'm burning up...
