Burning Up

Lyrics for Burning Up

Talking out my ass about love to someone I hardly know I'm the king of biding my time just to piss around at home I've become a prick in your thumb, you've become a bruise on my lung You're forever cursing my name as the guy who rocked the boat And it's part of the answer It's the same every time You gotta cut out the cancer You gotta leave it behind Ooh, if you wanna be alone And take your money elsewhere Ooh, I'm afraid to be alone I wanna be somebody else's Didn't mean to mess around Used to be the baddest bitch around I became the one who gets a house to rent a mile away to hang around Honey, by the way, you could die today You could take the pain and put it away You could start all over again I know I said that I'd love you forever But you know that I've changed You and I, we were made for each other But we gotta blow out the flame If you left me, baby I would understand But don't take to me to Make you a richer man If you asked me, baby For a second chance I would hold onto you Unto my final breath I never meant to hurt you, baby I never meant to make you cry You could be the one that saves me Together for the rest of our lives Ooh, if you wanna be alone And take your money elsewhere Ooh, I'm afraid to be alone I wanna be somebody else's (Ooh) if you left me baby, I would understand But don't take to me to make you a richer man (Ooh) if you asked me, baby, for a second chance I would hold onto you unto my final breath
