You're looking at a man
Trying hard to make a stand
On his own, livin' alone
I've been in love before
In and out of love before
My heart has been tossed around
All over this town

I was doing real good at not falling in love
When into my life walked you
But I should have known
Not to get so close
Cause now, I'm burnin' in the flame of love
Once again I'm burnin' in the flame of love

From the moment that I rise
Til I lay me down to sleep
Everywhere your face I see
And then in my dreams
There's a ringin' in my ears
There's a poundin' in my brain
My poor heart is racing
Racing blindly straight into love

I was doing real good at not falling in love
When into my life walked you
But I should have known
Not to get so close
Cause now, I'm burnin' in the flame of love
Once again I'm burnin' in the flame of love

I never thought I'd live to see the day when
I'd be burnin' in the flame of love again

But I know what comes next
All the promises that will one day be broken
Hearts will be broken
And, ain't I the perfect fool
Cause I know what love can do
But I still need to touch the fire
I still need to stand in the fire

But as time goes by, and the seasons turn
It's a lesson I'll never learn
Cause in my heart I knew
That when I got next to you
That I'd be burnin' in the flame of love
Once again I'm burnin' in the flame of love
Once again I'm burnin' in the flame of love
In the flame of love
In the flame of love
I'm burnin' in the flame of love
