Burning Up Lyrics by Eagle-Eye Cherry

Present | Future

2000

[Verse 1]
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 gotta say that it comes those days
That I told something untrue
Would you forgive me
If I said I'd lied to you?

[Verse 2]
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, yeah

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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, ah yeah

[Outro]
Yeah

I'm burning up, I'm burning up
I'm burning up, I'm burning up
I'm burning up (Oh, I'm burning up)
I'm burning up (Oh, yeah)
I'm burning up (Oh, yeah)
I'm burning up
I'm burning up, I'm burning up
I'm burning up
