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
