Burning Up
K. Briscoe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't quench my desire
Don't you know that
I'm burning up for your love
You're not convinced that that is enough
I put myself in this position
And I deserve the imposition
But you don't even know I'm alive
Just won't die... I'm burning up
I'm burning up, burning up for your love
I'm burning up, burning up for your love
I'm burning up, burning up for your love
For your love...
You're always closing your door
That only makes me want you more
And day and night I cry for your love
You're not convinced that that is enough
To justify my wanting you
Now tell me what you want me to do
I'm not blind and I know
That you want to want me but you can't let go
Come on let go....
I'm burning up, burning up for your love
I'm burning up, burning up for your love
I'm burning up, burning up for your love
For your love...
Do you wanna see me down on my knees
Or bending over backwards now would you
be pleased
Unlike the others I do anything
I'm not the same, I have no shame
I'm on fire
I'm burning up, burning up for your love
I'm burning up, burning up for your love
I'm burning up, burning up for your love
For your love...
You know you got me burning up baby,
Burning up for your love

Line by Line Meaning
Don't put me off ‘cause I'm on fire
Don't ignore me because I'm really passionate about you
And I can't quench my desire
I can't stop wanting you
Don't you know that I'm burning up for your love
I'm completely infatuated with you
You're not convinced that that is enough
You don't believe my feelings for you are genuine
I put myself in this position
I made myself vulnerable by falling for you
And I deserve the imposition
I know I'm being a burden, but I can't help how I feel
But you don't even know I'm alive
You don't give me the time of day
And this pounding in my heart, just won't die... I'm burning up
My heart is racing with desire for you
You're always closing your door
You're not open to my advances
That only makes me want you more
Your resistance is making me more determined to win you over
And day and night I cry for your love
I'm constantly thinking about you and wishing you would love me back
To justify my wanting you
I can't explain why I desire you, but it's a strong feeling
Now tell me what you want me to do
I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make you notice me
I'm not blind and I know
I'm not clueless and I'm aware that you're not interested in me
That you want to want me but you can't let go
You might have some attraction to me, but you're holding back for some reason
Come on let go....
Please give me a chance and let your guard down
Do you wanna see me down on my knees
Would it take me humbling myself to get you to love me back?
Or bending over backwards now would you be pleased
I'm willing to go to great lengths to win your affection
Unlike the others I do anything
I'm not like the other people who have tried to pursue you
I'm not the same, I have no shame
I'm not afraid to show you how much I care about you
I'm on fire
I'm consumed with passion for you
You know you got me burning up baby, burning up for your love
I'm so in love with you, it's like I'm on fire

I remember this one back then (Circus era if i am not wrong? even thought the production screams In The Zone) but the quality it was very low compared to this one, still i always thought this one was fake (but a damn bop, love it)
Britney Xposed
In my research I found that the song leaked as a Britney demo, but also that the producers at one point posted it themselves as a demo for Britney or Rihanna
Rayelle Bishop
Who sings this as the master? It’s so good as a club song. :)
Britney Xposed
No one did. This one was never released
Rayelle Bishop
@Britney Xposed Someone should record it and make it a master!
Britney Xposed
