My mind knows full well I should leave here But my heart, my foolish heart will not turn She fills me with a crazy wild desire And, lying helpless, I know just how I'll burn Back in the fire where my heart must long to be If it wasn't so then why oh why does it keep draggin' me Back in the fire to the flames of extacsy I guess I'll always love the way she burns in me At times I've gone as far as believing This tortured soul of mine was finally free Then those long silent leftover feelings Say I'm a pretender and I'll surrender willingly Back in the fire where my heart must long to be If it wasn't so then why oh why does it keep draggin' me Back in the fire to the flames of extacsy I guess I'll always love the way she burns in me I guess I'll always love the way she burns in me
