Eagle Eye Cherry - 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.
