From the thoughts that I've been thinkin'   I should think of an alibi   Though I'm innocent, I've still got a guilty mind   There's no place that I can turn to   When she turns out the lights   To keep her from seein' you burnin' in my eyes      It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark   Carryin' around this torch in my heart   I cannot conceal it I cannot put it out   It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark   Tryin' to fight a flame I never meant to start   It's out of control and nothin' can help me now   No, no, no, no, no      At first it was no problem   Flickering thoughts of you now and then   Nothin' intimate that she could call a sin   Then you sparked my imagination   Temptation 'bout to drive me wild   These flares of desire you can see for miles      It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark   Carryin' around this torch in my heart   I cannot conceal it I cannot put it out   It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark   Tryin' to fight a flame I never meant to start   It's out of control and nothin' can help me now   Now, now      It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark   Carryin' around this torch in my heart   I cannot conceal it I cannot put it out   It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark   Tryin' to fight a flame I never meant to start   It's out of control and nothin' can help me now      It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark   Carryin' around this torch in my heart
