Eagle Eye Cherry: "Burning Up" Lyrics

Would you believe me

If I said Id never lie

Though it aint 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 Id lied to you



This is my fear

To tell you what Ive done

As things come clear

Im afraid that youll be gone

But all I know

Is if you go

At least Ive told whats true

Hope youll forgive me

When I say Ive lied to you



Im burning up

Im burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

Theres nothing I can do

Yes Im burning up

Im burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

Theres nothing I can do



How will you kill me

For what Im about to tell

Please do it gently

cause you know Im bound for hell

All I know is

Ive lost my soul

Im burning inside

Hope youll forgive me

Yes I have lied

Oh yes Ive lied



Im burning up

Im burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

Theres nothing I can do

Yes Im burning up

Im burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

Theres nothing I can do



Now you know that Ive gone

And Ive been untrue to you

And once its told

Well you know theres nothing we can do

I regret that I let this get so out of hand

I pray, please stay, that youll understand



Im burning up

Im burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

Theres nothing I can do

Yes Im burning up

Im burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

Theres nothing I can do



Im burning up...

(repeat)
