Trying to Hide a Fire

Sung by: Billy Dean

From the thoughts that I've been thinkin' I should think of an alibi Thought 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

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

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 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
