That a man does to be
The very thing he perceives
Would capture your heart, capture your heart?

Or does it keep you alive and set you on fire, on fire?
I would give anything for the touch of your skin
Yes, I would burn here for years, up in desire, desire
[Verse 2]
What makes a woman believe
In a man such as me?
Unworthy to sit at your foot or your crown
I can only let you down
[Chorus]
What does it feel like inside, does it hurt you at night?
Or does it keep you alive and set you on fire, on fire?
I would give anything for the touch of your skin
Yes, I would burn here for years, up in desire, desire
[Bridge]

Chasing the accolades of pride
But that just never crossed my mind
You were always on my mind
[Chorus]
What does it feel like inside, does it hurt you at night?
Or does it keep you alive and set you on fire, on fire?
I would give anything for the touch of your skin
Yes, I would burn here for years, up in desire, desire
