Burn Like a Candle

Lyrics

[Verse 1] As a younger girl you didn't have much There  ain't a lot to have on our side of town The  streets are dirty, we got by Then one day we kinda lost touch You packed and moved away from our side of town You  wanted fine things many can buy [Pre-Chorus] You  found the people with money Bright lights that turn night to day Just  like a candlelight You're really burnin' bright But just how long can you stay? [Chorus] Burn like a candle, it's your turn to burn Fire's  gettin' higher, girl, you got no shame Burn like a candle, you'll run out of flame [Verse 2] Just the other day I saw you on the street You didn't know me, you were flyin' so high Your face was empty, head in the sky You looked so thin, no shoes were on your feet Your crystal beads were brighter than your eyes You didn't see me walk right on by [Pre-Chorus] The trip you're takin' is one-way The train to nowhere goes fast Just like a candlelight You're really burnin' bright But just how long can you last? [Chorus] Burn like a candle, it's your turn to burn Fire's gettin' higher, girl, you got no shame Burn like a candle, you'll run out of flame [Chorus] Burn like a candle, it's your turn to burn Fire's gettin' higher, girl, you got no shame Burn like a candle, you'll run out of flame [Instrumental & Outro]
