Verse 1
Don?t wanna sound rude
Don?t wanna sound complicated
If you think I?m a Dude
Or maybe my times just wasted
Here?s a message to you girl
Be alive and be gold plated
If you weren?t so confused
Would I drive or stay here waitin
Bridge
All I wanna know <> is when your back in the game
Taste my forbidden fruit so I can slow down my flame
CHORUS I
Oh I?ll hold a candle for you Oh yeah
Burning bright all thru the night
My flame is for you Oh Yeah
I?ll hold a candle for you Its Burnin
Burning Bright all thru the night
My flame is for you
Verse 2
Some summers never rain
But thunder drives away the pain
Rolling in on a black sea
Keeping unfed souls at peace
A maiden with her wreath
Under vines she lays deceased
Feeding fires with her soil
Burning brightly from her oil
Bridge
All I wanna know <> is when your back in the game
Taste my forbidden fruit so I can slow down my flame

I?ll hold a candle for you Its Burnin
Burning Bright all thru the night
My flame is for you
