Burnin' Up

Ne-Yo · Other Songs - Ne-Yo

Just one look in your direction, we made a connection

Not a connection we once had, you and me somewhere sweatin'

You look like a lotta, trouble but I gotta

See what kind of trouble you are



With that big bass a boomin', lights low and assumin'

You see bodies movin', but you do see what they doin'

Gotta make my way over, as I'm getting closer

I can feel the heat coming off you as I approach ya



Baby I can't decide if I live or die

But I know tonight, I want that fire in your eyes

Girl I can't decide if I live or die

But I know tonight, I want that fire in your eyes



And I'm caught in seduction from introduction

Taking shots of that red, takin' that burn like it's nothin'

Body made for sinning, accustomed to winnin'

I know she might be the death of me (right from the beginning)



But I don't care (don't care)

Let me tell you, baby, I ain't never scared

So where you goin' I wanna be there

Really wanna get to know ya

And I can feel your heat coming off you as you come closer



Baby I can't decide if I live or die

But I know tonight, I want that fire in your eyes

Girl I can't decide if I live or die

But I know tonight, I want that fire in your eyes



I wanna put your fire with my smooth

Said I wanna put your heat with my cool

I don't know what to do with me and you

I don't know what to do with me and you



Burn burnin' up.. think I'm burnin' up (I'm burnin' up.. hey)

Burn burnin' up.. think I'm burnin' up (I'm burnin' up.. ohh)

Burn burnin' up.. think I'm burnin' up (I'm burnin' up hey)

Burn burnin' up.. think I'm burnin' up (ooh)



I can't decide if I live or die

But I know tonight, I want that fire in your eyes

I can't decide if I live or die

But I know tonight, I want that fire in your eyes

I can't decide if I live or die

But I know tonight, I want that fire in your eyes
