Hank Locklin - Burning Inside Lyrics

(Liz Anderson)

You got that please-don't-touch-me-air about you
That I-love-someone-else-look in your eyes
And so-before-too-long I'll be without you
We're just a little decide of goodbye.

That's why I'm burning, burning. burning inside
My heart tells me that you've found someone new
And so I'm burning, burning, burning inside
I love you so and now I'm losing you.

--- Instrumental ---

You're farther out of reach as each day passes
To keep you near has been a losing game
Our burning love is turning out to ashes
While I go out of carrying just the same.

That's why I'm burning, burning. burning inside
My heart tells me that you've found someone new
And so I'm burning, burning, burning inside
I love you so and now I'm losing you...
