Can't Put Out This Fire

Well I fin'lly got your letter today  
I think I understand what you had to say  
Message came through loud and clear  
You've got to get away from me and away from here  
I tell myself I'm over you, then I'm just a liar  
'Cause ev'rytime I think of you it fills me with desire  
Love is like a burning flame, keeps on getting higher  
And I, I can't put out this fire,  
Can't put out this fire  

Well I don't know what went wrong with you and me  
Sometimes you get so close you just can't see  
Now I'm out here standin' in the rain  
Thinkin' 'bout us and livin' with the pain
If I could only talk to you, then you'd understand  
If I could hold you close to me you'd know I'm still your man  
Love is like a burning flame, keeps on getting higher  
And I, I can't put out this fire,  
Can't put out this fire  

You know breaking up is harder than it sounds  
People leave, but love still hangs around  
The memories refuse to go away  
They follow you and haunt you, night and day
Love like ours will never die, can't put out this fire  
'Cause when I think of you and I, it fills me with desire  
Love is like a burning flame, keeps on getting higher  
And I, I can't put out this fire,  
Can't put out this fire  
Can't put out this fire.
