Lyrics Jimmy Barnes

Jimmy Barnes

Burn Baby Burn

Well you were thinking things were pretty fine

But now he’s saying that you’re not his kind

You gave so much and never asked for more

You can’t believe he’s walking out that door

You got lost in the heat of the fight

And the sparks turn to fire

Is that smoke in your eye’s, or the tears that you hide?

He can leave when he wants

‘Cause you still got your pride

Let him burn baby burn, he’s out of control

Broke your heart, but he lost his soul

Burn baby burn, until nothing remains

When the hurting stops, you start all over again

You look for reasons, try to understand

This wasn’t written in your masterplan

Without a warning, not a single trace

He left his home for just a pretty face

Feel your temperature rise

When you think you believed all his lies

But it all becomes clear when he starts to come near

You can see in his face, that he’s made a mistake

Let him burn baby burn, he’s out of control

Broke your heart, but he lost his soul

Burn baby burn, until nothing remains

When the hurting stops, you start all over again

How long does it take?

You can’t last much longer

How long may be a blessing

‘Cause in the end you’re gonna turn out stronger

You’re feeling so low it’s beginning to show in your eyes

When the push turned to shove he forgot about love

It was all for the best gotta find someone else

Let him burn baby burn, he’s out of control

Broke your heart, but he lost his soul

Burn baby burn, until nothing remains

When the hurting stops, you start all over again

Burn baby, burn

No sympathy, he made his choice, said it was to be

Burn baby, burn, let him feel the heat

He’s gonna drown in his own misery

Burn baby burn
