I needed someone ta talk to
I called him up jus' to say hello
I couldn't wait 'til tomorrow

(As time goes by), I know things are gonna change

(Runnin' with desire) you' got me burnin'

(Runnin' from the fire) you' got me runnin'
The flames are gettin' higher an' higher
(Runnin' with desire) you' got me burnin'
- Can't ya see I'm runnin' from the fire
- (Runnin' from the fire)
You' got me runnin'
The flames are gettin' hig
