Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't put me off 'cause I'm on fire

And I can't quench my desire

Don't you know that I'm burning up for your love?

You're not convinced that that is enough

I put myself in this position

And I deserve the imposition

But you don't even know I'm alive

And this pounding in my heart just won't die

I'm burning up

[Chorus]

I'm burning up, burning up for your love

I'm burning up, burning up for your love

I'm burning up, burning up for your love

For your love

[Verse 2]

You're always closing your door

Well, that only makes me want you more

And day and night, I cry for your love

You're not convinced that that is enough

To justify my wanting you

Now tell me what you want me to do

I'm not blind and I know

That you want to want me but you can't let go

Come on, let go

[Chorus]

I'm burning up, burning up for your love

I'm burning up, burning up for your love

I'm burning up, burning up for your love

For your love, oh

[Bridge]

Do you wanna see me down on my knees?

Or bending over backwards, now, would you be pleased?

Unlike the others, I'd do anything

I'm not the same, I have no shame

I'm on fire

[Verse 3]

You're always closing your door

Well, that only makes me want you more

And day and night, I cry for your love

You're not convinced that that is enough

To justify my wanting you

Now tell me what you want me to do

I'm not blind and I know

That you want to want me but you can't let go

Come on, let go

[Chorus]

I'm burning up, burning up for your love

I'm burning up, burning up for your love

I'm burning up, burning up for your love

For your love, oh

[Bridge]

Do you wanna see me down on my knees?

Or bending over backwards, now, would you be pleased?

Unlike the others, I'd do anything

I'm not the same, I have no shame

I'm on fire (Burning up for your love)

[Chorus]

I'm burning up (Burning up for your love)

I'm burning up (Burning up for your love)

I'm burning up (Burning up for your love)

Oh, oh, oh, I'm burning up (Burning up for your love)

Ooh, yeah, I'm burning up (Burning up for your love)

Come on, come on, I'm burning up (Burning up for your love)

Ooh, yeah, I'm burning up (Burning up for your love)

Uh, uh, uh

[Chorus]

You know you got me burning up, baby

You know you got me burning up, baby

Burning up for your love

Burning up for your love

I'm burning up for your love

I'm burning up for your love

[Chorus]

I'm burning up, uh, uh, uh

I'm burning up, uh, uh, uh

I'm burning up, uh, uh, uh

I'm burning up

Oh, I'm burning up

[Outro]

(Burning up for your love, burning up for your love) I'm burning up

Ooh, yeah, I'm burning up (Burning up for your love)

Come on, oh, come on, I'm burning up (Burning up for your love)

Uh, uh, uh, I'm burning up (Burning up for your love)

Ooh, yeah, I'm burning up (Burning up for your love)

Come on, oh, come on, I'm burning up (Burning up for your love)

Ooh, yeah, I'm burning up (Burning up for your love)

Uh, uh, uh

You know you got me burning up, baby
