(Billy Dean, Tim Nichols)



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

Carrin' 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

Carrin' 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

Carrin' 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

Carrin' 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
