Jo Dee Messina - Burn Lyrics

Do you wanna be a poet and write
Do you wanna be an actor up in lights
Do you wanna be a soldier and fight for love
Do you wanna travel the world
Do you wanna be a diver for pearls
Or climb a mountain and touch the clouds above

Be anyone you want to be
Bring to life your fantasies
But I want something in return

I want you to burn
Burn for me, baby
Like a candle in my night (I want you to burn)
Oh, burn
Burn for me, burn for me

Are you gonna be a gambler and deal
Are you gonna be a doctor and heal
Or go to heaven and touch God's face
Are you gonna be a dreamer who sleeps
Are you gonna be a sinner who weeps
Or an angel under grace

I'll lay down on your bed of coals
Offer up my heart and soul
But in return

I want you to burn
Burn for me, baby
Like a candle in my night (I want you to burn)
Oh, burn
Burn for me, burn for me (me)

(Oh) I want you to burn, baby
(Oh) oh

Laugh for me, cry for me
Pray for me, fly for me
Live for me, die for us

I want you to burn
Burn for me, baby
Like a candle in my night (I want you to burn)
Oh, burn
Burn for me, burn for me, yeah

(Burn for me) oh yeah, I want you to burn
I want you to burn (like a candle) for me, baby, ooh yeah
(I want you to burn) burn for me, yeah
Yeah, I want you to burn, I want you to burn (like a candle)
For me, baby, (I want you to burn) oh yeah, burn for me
