How Can I Put Out The Flame (When You Keep The Fire Burning) - Candi Staton

You keep saying

It’s all over

Ah yeah

That the feeling is all gone

But you keep stirring

Up my desires

Every time that we’re alone

I’m trying

So hard to forget you

But you just keep me

Oh you keep me stringing along

Tell me how

How can I put out the flame

Baby baby baby baby

When you keep the fire burning on

I stop trying

To see you

But still

You just keep coming around

Oh you’re not making it

Any easier

Oh no

For me, to put you down

No no no no no no

You know

You know, you know how I feel about you baby

You know my love

Oh my love for you

Is still going strong

So tell me how

How can I put out the flame

Baby baby baby

When you keep the fire burning on

Why don’t you just leave me alone?

How can I put out the flame

Oh no

When you keep the fire burning on
