You are burning me up and you're tearing me down
I can't believe I'm tired of this good thing I have found
You're burning me up and you're tearing me down
You're burning me up now
And you're tearing me down
You are burning me up and you're tearing me down
I can't believe I'm tired of this good thing I have found
You're burning me up and you're tearing me down
You're burning me up, now
Well and you're tearing me down
No river too deep and no puddle too small
For you I would have smashed me head against a great brick wall
'cos love was the answer to all of my dreams
You're burning me up, now
And you're tearing me down
Oh, 'cos you're burning me up and you're tearing me down
I can't believe I'm tired of this good thing I have found
You're burning me up and you're tearing me down
You're burning me up, now
And you're tearing me down
We're so far apart, yet you're right next to me
How long have we been going, now I'm just too blind to see
Yet you were the reason that made me realise
That you're burning me up, now
And you're tearing me down
Oh 'cos you're burning me up and you're tearing me down
I can't believe I'm tired of this good thing I have found
You're burning me up and you're tearing me down
You're burning me up, now
And you're tearing me down
(repeat verse one)
(repeat chorus, then verse two)
(repeat chorus twice)
