Don’t Let Me Burn

[Verse 1]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah eh
A blank page is so beautiful
So many possibilities we control eh
So should I say the truth and burn my soul oh
Or should I hide behind my fantasies? I don't know eh

[Pre-Chorus]
My momma told me one lie is two lies, And three lies is more lies
And if you lie and you die, then it's bye bye, boy oh, bye bye
She said one lie is two lies is three lies then more lies
And if you lie and you die, then it's bye bye, baby, bye bye bye bye

[Chorus]
So Lord please save me from the fire eh eh eh
'Cause I don't wanna burn I'm way too fine oh oh oh
So Father when I die please take me higher
And I'll be good, so damn good, don't let me burn
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 2]
I filled my calabash with the palmwine eh eh eh
When the moon is up I'm on another high oh
I told my girlfriend I ain't got the time
Then I hear the same words in the back of my mind
It's my mama

[Pre-Chorus]
And she said one lie is two lies is three lies then more lies
If you lie and you die, then it's bye bye, boy oh, bye bye
She said one lie is two lies is three lies then more lies
And if you lie and you die, then it's bye bye, baby, bye bye bye bye

[Chorus]
So Lord please save me from the fire (I don't wanna I don't wanna)
'Cause I don't wanna burn I'm way too fine (oh oh oh)
So Father when I die please take me higher (Take me high)
And I'll be good, so damn good, don't let me burn (I'll be good I’ll be good)

[Break]
Lord have mercy
So I just happened to be in a radio interview the other day, you know
The radio presenter and me just goofing around like I usually do, you know
Then he asked me a question he said
‘El what's the biggest lie you've ever told in your life?'
Wow! He had me stunned
I had told so many lies in my life, I couldn't pick one
Lord I couldn't pick one
Whoa!

[Chorus]
So Lord please save me from the fire (eh eh eh)
'cause I don't wanna burn I'm way too fine (And I'm way too fine)
And when I die Lord please take me higher
And I'll be good, I'll be good, don't let me burn (eeeh eeh eeh)
Save me from the fire (save me save me from the fire)
And I don't wanna burn I'm way too fine (And I'm way too fine)
So Father when I die please take me higher (And I'll be good good good)
And I'll be good, so damn good, don't let me burn (aaah don't let me burn)

(Imagine that)
