Well, I finally got your letter today
I think I understand what you had to say
Your message came through loud and clear
You gotta get away from me and away from hereTell myself I'm over you, then I'm just a liar
'Cause every time I think of you, fills me with desire
Love is like a burnin' flame, keeps on gettin' higher
And I can't put out this fireWell, 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 standing in the rain
Thinkin' 'bout us and living with the painIf 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 burnin' flame, keeps on gettin' higher
And I can't put out this fire
Can't put out this fireYou know, breakin' up is harder than it sounds
People leave, but love still hangs around
Memories refuse to go away
They follow you and haunt you night and dayLove like ours will never die, can't put out this fire
'Cause when I think of you and I, fills me with desire
Love is like burnin' flame, keeps on gettin' higher
And I can't put out this fire
Can't put out this fire
Can't put out this fire
Can't put out this fireOh, no matter how hard I try
No gettin' over you, no matter what I do
There's no gettin' over you, no matter what I do
Can't put out this fire
No, I can't put out this fireSome things will never die, some things like you and I
Some things will never die, some things like you and I
No, I can't put out this, no, I can't put out this
No, I can't put out this, no, I, no, I, no
