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 here      Tell 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 fire      Well, 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 pain      If 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 fire      You 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 day      Love 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 fire      Oh, 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 fire      Some 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
