You keep sayin' It's all over Ah yeah That the feeling is all gone But you keep stirring Up my desires Every time that we're alone I'm trying So hard to forget you But you just keep me Oh you keep me stringing along Tell me how How can I put out the flame Baby baby baby baby When you keep the fire burning on I stop trying To see you But still You just keep coming around Oh you're not making it Any easier Oh no For me, to put you down No no no no no no You know You know, you know how I feel about you baby You know my love Oh my love for you Is still going strong So tell me how How can I put out the flame Baby baby baby When you keep the fire burning on Why don't you just leave me alone? How can I put out the flame Oh no When you keep the fire burning on
