would you drink my holy water
bathe naked in the snow
take some weight off my shoulders
and love me when i’m cold
tell me there’s no ending
only love in sight...tonight.

when you’ve been thrown overboard
too many times

when you’re through with letting others
run your life

when you hate the ones
you want to love

instead of telling what you’re thinking of

you’ve been burned baby
you’ve been burned

chorus

there are times
when things seem to turn to the better

seems like someone lends you a hand
you’re at the brink of having fun

then you turn around and run
you’ve been burned...

chorus

it's hard to see
that love is not a friend to you no more
cause you're fighting
to hang in there to the end

the truth will come in pieces
one by one they fall in place
in your life
