I am centered by my fear
I am hollowed when you're near
Can you feel the passion deep in here?
Do you understand the tears?
What's the price I'll have to pay?
Should I take the awfully way?
What's the last I'll have to share?
Or do I erase and then return?
Should have known you would make me this way
Should have known you'd have to leave
You could have shown some dignity
You could have shown me what's to believe
Should have known ...
You could have shown ...
I am centered by my fear
I am hollowed when you're near
Can you feel the passion deep in here
Do you understand the tears
Should have known you would make me this way
Should have known you'd have to leave
You could have shown some dignity
You could have shown me what's to believe
So many times have I asked you to tell me
That I'm your girl
Time after time I have needed a reason
Just to get inside your world
So many times have I asked you to ask me
How it feels to love
And when it's love seems the only conclusion
That I'm guilty of
Oh baby then you
Put your loving arms around me
And it feels like shelter when you
Put your loving arms around me
And inside your arms I'm burning
Put your loving arms around me
And you whisper to me when you
Put your loving arms around me
And inside this love I'm yearning
Mmmm...
And sometimes the way that you act makes me wonder
What I am to you
And sometimes I can't stand the way that I'm acting
To be part of the things you do
Often I've asked you for too much of your time
I've been stealing
And when I dream of the fear that you're leaving
Then I reach out
Oh baby then you
Put your loving arms around me
And it feels like shelter when you
Put your loving arms around me
And inside your arms I'm burning
Put your loving arms around me
And you whisper to me when you
Put your loving arms around me
And inside this love I'm yearning
Yearning, yearning
Inside this love I'm yearning...
Baby then you
Put your loving arms around me
And it feels like shelter when you
Put your loving arms around me
(Burnin' inside yeah, burnin' inside)
Put your loving arms around me
(Burnin' inside yeah, burnin' inside yeah)
Put your loving arms around me
(Burnin', burnin', burnin', burnin')
Yearning, burning, yearning
Inside this love I'm yearning, burning, yearning
