Billy Elliot movie - Burning Up lyrics

rate me

Song by Eagle-Eye Cherry<br /><br>

Would you believe me<br>

If I said I'd never lie<br>

Though it ain't easy<br>

I can tell you I have tried<br>

But I got to say<br>

That it comes those days<br>

That I told something untrue<br>

Would you forgive me<br>

If I said I'd lied to you<br>

<br>

This is my fear<br>

To tell you what I've done<br>

As things come clear<br>

I'm afraid that you'll be gone<br>

But all I know<br>

Is if you go<br>

At least I've told what's true<br>

Hope you'll forgive me<br>

When I say I've lied to you<br>

<br>

I'm burning up<br>

I'm burning for you<br>

When the truth has been spoken<br>

There's nothing I can do<br>

Yes I'm burning up<br>

I'm burning for you<br>

When the truth has been spoken<br>

There's nothing I can do<br>

<br>

How will you kill me<br>

For what I'm about to tell<br>

Please do it gently<br>

'Cause you know I'm bound for hell<br>

All I know is <br>

I've lost my soul<br>

I'm burning inside<br>

Hope you'll forgive me<br>

Yes I have lied<br>

Oh yes I've lied<br>

<br>

I'm burning up<br>

I'm burning for you<br>

When the truth has been spoken<br>

There's nothing I can do<br>

Yes I'm burning up<br>

I'm burning for you<br>

When the truth has been spoken<br>

There's nothing I can do<br>

<br>

Now you know that I've gone<br>

And I've been untrue to you<br>

And once it's told<br>

Well you know there's nothing we can do<br>

I regret that I let this get so out of hand<br>

I pray, please stay, that you'll understand<br>

<br>

I'm burning up<br>

I'm burning for you<br>

When the truth has been spoken<br>

There's nothing I can do<br>

Yes I'm burning up<br>

I'm burning for you<br>

When the truth has been spoken<br>

There's nothing I can do<br>

<br>

I'm burning up...<br>

[Repeat]<br>
