Burnin'
The Cue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't think I know you,
don't think I ever will.
Am I in love with you,
Well I don't know still.
It may sound strange but I'm warning you
I may not be that nice.

Maybe baby I'm a heartbreaker
heart breaker
heart of ice

But I'm burnin'
burnin'
cause you set my soul on fire.
Girl, I don't know what I'll do.

Cause I'm burnin'
I'm burnin'
I'm burnin' with desire.
Yes I'm burnin' and it's all because of you.

We can't be together.
I'm not that kind of a guy.
I'll be gone and lost forever,
and you won't know why.

Don't get me wrong, I'm only warning you,
you'd be on your own.
Maybe baby I'm a heartbreaker
heart breaker
heart of stone.

But I'm burnin'
burnin'
cause you set my soul on fire.
Girl, I don't know what I'll do.

Cause I'm burnin'
I'm burnin'
I'm burnin' with desire.
I'm burnin' and it's all because of you.
Because of you.

Yes I'm burnin'
burnin'
cause you set my soul on fire.
Girl, I don't know what I'll do.

Cause I'm burnin'
I'm burnin'
I'm burnin' with desire.




Yes I'm burnin' and it's all because of you.
Because of you.

Я не думаю, что знаю тебя. Не думай, что я когда-нибудь захочу узнать тебя
Я влюблен в тебя? Ну, я еще не знаю
Это может показаться странным, но я предупреждаю тебя. Я могу быть не таким хорошим
Может быть, детка, я сердцеед. Разбитое сердце. Ледяное сердце

припев:
Но я горю, горю
Потому что ты подожгла мою душу
Девочка, я не знаю, что я буду делать
Потому что я горю, я горю
Я горю желанием
Да, я горю
И это все из-за тебя

Мы не можем быть вместе. я не такой добрый парень
Я уйду и потеряюсь навсегда. И ты не будешь знать, почему
Не пойми меня неправильно, я только предупреждаю тебя. Ты будешь сама
Может быть, детка, я сердцеед. Сердцеед. Сердце из камня

припев:
Но я горю, горю
Потому что ты подожгла мою душу
Девочка, я не знаю, что я буду делать
Потому что я горю, я горю
Я горю желанием
Да, я горю
И это все из-за тебя

This song represents the exceptional romance in '95-'05 music so well, those years were def the most majestically sensual in the dress code, cinema and music too
