Burnin’ Up Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 is enough
I put myself in this position
And I deserve the imposition
But you don't even know 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

[Verse 2]
You're always closing your door
And that only makes me want you more
And day and night, I cry for your love
You're 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
C'mon, let go
[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, oh

[Post-Chorus]
Do you wanna see mе down on my knees?
Or bending over backwards, now, would you be plеased?
Unlike the others, I'd do anything
I'm not the same, I have no shame
I'm on fire

I'm on fire

C'mon, let go

(I'm on fire, I'm on fire)
(I'm on fire, I'm on fire)

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
[Outro]
(Burning up for your love) Come on, I'm burning up
(Burning up for your love) Ooh, yeah, I'm burning up
(Burning up for your love) Oh come on, oh come on, I'm burning up
(Burning up for your love) Uh, uh, uh
I'm burning up
(Burning up for your love) Ooh, yeah, I'm burning up
(Burning up for your love) Oh come on, oh come on, I'm burning up
(Burning up for your love) Ah, ah ah, I'm 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 [?]
