Burning Up Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Been dead as a disco with a foot in grave
One thing that you missed though: baby, I'm new wave
Is it bad enough, is it bad enough to call it off?
Let's turn off the heat, we gotta get back up
One minute you need me and the next we're stuck
Is it bad enough, is it bad enough to call it off?

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, who you are, what you do
What you need, what's the use?

Hold me now
I can't help but want you too

[Chorus]
Don't say you don't miss me that much
Don't say I don't still make you blush
'Cause my ears are burning, my ears are burning up
Sometimes you can't yell loud enough
Sometimes a whisper's just too much

Now my ears are burning, my ears are burning up, ooh

[Verse 2]
Too hot to handle, gotta like it rough
Too much of a scandal when the going gets tough
Is it bad enough, is it bad enough to call it off?
This diminuendo only gets obscene
Just want a crescendo and a killer queen

Since when's that bad enough to call it off?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, who you are, what you do
What you need, what's the use?
Hold me now
I can't help but want you too

[Chorus]
Don't say you don't miss me that much
Don't say I don't still make you blush
'Cause my ears are burning, my ears are burning up, ooh
Sometimes you can't yell loud enough
Sometimes a whisper's just too much

My ears are burning, my ears are burning up, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
What you are, what you do
What you need, what's the use?

Hold me now
I can't help but want you too (Can't help but want you)

[Breakdown]
Don't say you don't miss me that much
Don't say I don't still make you blush (Don't ya)
'Cause my ears are burning, (Don't ya) my ears are burning up, ooh (Don't ya)
(Don't ya) Sometimes you can't yell loud enough (Ooh, don't ya)
Sometimes a whisper's too much (Ooh, don't ya)
My ears are burning, (Oh, don't ya) my ears are burning up, ooh
[Chorus]
Don't say you don't miss me that much
Don't say I don't still make you blush
'Cause my ears are burning, my ears are burning up, ooh yeah (Ooh, don't ya)
Sometimes you can't yell loud enough (Ooh, don't ya)
Sometimes a whisper's just too much (Ooh, don't ya)
My ears are burning, my ears are burning up

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
