Lyrics - Burning Up by Eagle Eye Cherry

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...(repeat)
