Can't Put Out This Fire

(album: Soul Searchin' - 1988)

Well, I finally got your letter today
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 burning flame-keeps on getting higher
And, I can't put out this fire, 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
Thinking about 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 burning flame-keeps on getting higher
And I can't put out this fire, can't put out this fire

You know, breaking 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 burning flame-keeps on getting higher
And I can't put out this fire, can't put out this fire
