I've done my best to find someone new
But there's just no one who can stand next to you girl
Now what on earth do you expect me to do
You started a fire and I'm burning

I tried giving all the attention you demand
'Cause I can't take you needing more than just one man
And now I walk these street holding my head in my hand
And my world has stopped turning
But the fire's still burning

I rode a train away thinking I'd stay low
Hoping time would get me straight
But just when I worked up the strength to forget
The mirror told me it was too late
I saw your face
And it was a face I love

It was your face

Oh worked late at nights thinking you did the same
Instead you sleep around and disgrace my good name
It hurts me to know you're not even ashamed
Who knows how long I'll last here alone

I'll just stare at the dark waiting for the phone
Wishing I was ten thousand light years from home
And the fire's getting out of control
Even then I can't help but wondering
You lit a fire and I'm burning
