Burning Inside

Hank Locklin · Nashville Women [1967]

(Liz Anderson)



You got that please-don't-touch-me-air about you

That I-love-someone-else-look in your eyes

And so-before-too-long I'll be without you

We're just a little decide of goodbye.



That's why I'm burning, burning. burning inside

My heart tells me that you've found someone new

And so I'm burning, burning, burning inside

I love you so and now I'm losing you.



--- Instrumental ---



You're farther out of reach as each day passes

To keep you near has been a losing game

Our burning love is turning out to ashes

While I go out of carrying just the same.



That's why I'm burning, burning. burning inside

My heart tells me that you've found someone new

And so I'm burning, burning, burning inside

I love you so and now I'm losing you...
