Fire burns are melting me away
All I wanted was your sympathy, but you got the best of me
These fire burns are melting me away
All I wanted was your sympathy, but you got the best of me

So, here's what I've been wanting to say
Oh, you got me, got me goin' insane
Oh, I can't expect the things you do
One is shame on me, then two is shame on you
Oh, it's like fire, oh, how you burn me up
Oh, now it turns on you, oh, I've had enough

These fire burns are melting me away
All I wanted was your sympathy, but you got the best of me
These fire burns are melting me away, yeah
All I wanted was your sympathy, but you got the best of me

So, I'm here just asking for help
Oh, you won't, no, you won't give nothing else
Oh, you attacked right from the start
So, you can't, you can't, you can't have my heart
Oh, it's like fire, oh, how you burn me up
Oh, now it turns on you

These fire burns are melting me away
All I wanted was your sympathy, but you got the best of me
These fire burns are melting me away
All I wanted was your sympathy, but you got the best of me

Oh, and I know that you don't know this side of feeling inside
And it hurts to see me cry, just reach out to me
And baby, you'll see, oh, you'll see that

These fire burns are melting me away
All I wanted was your sympathy, but you got the best of me
These fire burns are melting me away
All I wanted was your sympathy, but you got the best of me
These fire burns are melting me away
All I wanted was your sympathy, but you got the best of me
These fire burns are melting me away
All I wanted was your sympathy, but you got the best of me, yeah, oh-oh
