tryin' to hide a fire in the dark

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
