Lyrics for "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)
