Burning Up Lyrics

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?

This is my fear,

to tell you what I've done.

As things come clear,

I'm afraid 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 do.

Yes, I'm burning up,

I'm burning for you,

when the truth has been spoken,

there's nothing I do.

How will you kill me,

for what I'm about to tell?

Please do it gently,

cuz 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 have lied.

I'm burning up,

I'm burning for you,

when the truth has been spoken,

there's nothing I do.

Yes, I'm burning up,

I'm burning for you,

when the truth has been spoken,

there's nothing I do.

Now you know that I've gone,

and I've been untrue to you.

And once it's torn,

you know there's nothing we can do, yeah.

I regret that I let this get so outta hand.

I pray, this day,

that you understand.

I'm burning up,

I'm burning for you,

when the truth has been spoken,

there's nothing I do.

Yes, I'm burning up,

I'm burning for you,

when the truth has been spoken,

there's nothing I do.

Uh, yeah.

I'm burning up.

I'm burning up.

I'm burning up.

I'm burning up,

thats right.

Yes I'm,

burning up.

Oh, I'm burning up.
