Burning up

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...
