From the thoughts that I've been thinkin' I should think of an alibi Though 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 Carryin' 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 nothin' can help me now No, no, no, no, no At first it was no problem Flickering thoughts of you now and then Nothin' 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 in the dark Carryin' 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 nothin' can help me now Now, now It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark Carryin' 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 nothin' can help me now It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark Carryin' around this torch in my heart
