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 somethin' 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", yeah
I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' for you
When the truth has been spoken
There's nothin' I can do
Yes I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' for you
When the truth has been spoken
There's nothin' 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 burnin' inside
Hope you'll forgive me Yes I have lied
Oh yes I've lied
I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' for you
When the truth has been spoken
There's nothin' I can do
Yes I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' for you
When the truth has been spoken
There's nothin' 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 nothin' we can do, yeah
I regret that I let this get so out of hand
I pray, please stay that you'll understand
I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' for you
When the truth has been spoken
There's nothin' I can do
Yes I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' for you
When the truth has been spoken
There's nothin' I can do, oh yeah, yeah
I'm burnin' up
I'm burnin' up
I'm burnin' up
I'm burnin' up
I'm burnin' up
I'm burnin' up
I'm burnin' up
I'm burnin' up
