The Flame
Marion Raven Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wouldn't you like me to move
Move without your groove that I can do
Would you like the Lord
To have mercy on your soul, mercy on you?

That's what people do fall in love like you
And I that was my mistake
And I will never make that mistake again

I will be the flame that burns in your heart
Forever i will be the flame
Alive in your heart forever and ever

Did I get you wrong?
You misunderstood, I misunderstood
Let go of what you've got
Help me put 'em on good for you

That's what people do fall in love like you
And I that was my mistake
And I will never make that mistake again

I will be the flame that burns in your heart
Forever i will be the flame
Alive in your heart forever and ever
Would you like me to live in your heart
Forever and ever? Would you like me to live

In your heart forever and ever?
And ever? And ever? And ever? And ever?
