Burning Up
Britney Spears · Other Songs - Britney Spears
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!
You're always closing your door,
Well 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
Come on, let go!
[Chorus]
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 on fire!
Come on, let go!
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!
[Burning up for your love] c'mon c'mon
Ooo, yeah, I'm burning up [burning up for your love]
Ooo, yeah, I'm burning up [burning up for your love]
Come on, come on, I'm burning up [burning up for your love]
Uh, uh, uh, I'm burning up [burning up for your love]
Ooo, yeah, I'm burning up [burning up for your love]
Come on, come on, I'm burning up [burning up for your love]
Ooo, yeah, I'm burning up [burning up for your love]
Uh, uh, uh [burning up for your love]
You know you got me burning up, baby [burning up for your love]
You know you got me burning up, baby [burning up for your love]
Burning up for your love [burning up for your love]
Burning up for your love [burning up for your love]
