How Can I Put Out The Flame (When You Keep The Fire Burning) Lyrics by Candi Staton

Stand by Your Man

0

You keep sayin'
It's all over
Ah yeah
That the feeling is all gone
But you keep stirring
Up my desires
Every time that we're alone
I'm trying
So hard to forget you
But you just keep me
Oh you keep me stringing along
Tell me how
How can I put out the flame
Baby baby baby baby
When you keep the fire burning on
I stop trying
To see you
But still
You just keep coming around
Oh you're not making it
Any easier
Oh no
For me, to put you down
No no no no no no
You know
You know, you know how I feel about you baby
You know my love
Oh my love for you
Is still going strong
So tell me how
How can I put out the flame
Baby baby baby
When you keep the fire burning on
Why don't you just leave me alone?
How can I put out the flame
Oh no
When you keep the fire burning on
