From the thoughts that I've been thinkin' I should think of an alibi

Thought I'm innocent I've still got a guilty mind

There's no place that I can turn to when she turns out the lights

To keep her from seein' you burnin' in my eyes

It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark carrin' around this torch in my heart

I cannot conceal it I cannot put it out

It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark

Tryin' to fight a flame I never meant to start

It's out of control and nothing can help me now oh no



At first it was no problem flickering thoughts of you now and then

Nothing intimate that she could call a sin

Then you sparked my imagination temptation bout to drive me wild

These flares of desire you can see for miles

It's like tryin' to hide a fire...

It's like tryin' to hide a fire...
