Can't Put Out This Fire

Well I finally 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 every time 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
