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's enough
I put myself in this position And I deserve the imposition But you don't even know that 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
You're always closing your door Well that only makes me want you more And day and night I cry for your love But you're still 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, oh
[chorus]
[Intermediate:]
Oh, 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
I'm burning up [repeat 7 times]
[intermediate]
I'm burning up, burning up for your love [repeat 7 times]
I'm burning up, burning up for your love I'm burning up, burning up for your love
You know you got me burning up, baby You know you got me burning up, baby
