Burning to Burned

(Dolly Parton/Bill Owens)

You lied to me
I can't believe
That I've been such a fool
I thought this time
I might find
Someone who would play by the rules

My mind said no
But my heart said go
And again I've made the wrong turn
Now here I stand
My heart in your hands...
And I've gone from burning to burned

Ah, you'd think by now
I'd know how
To keep this heart of mine safe
It goes to show
You just never know
Who can you trust these days

How could I make
The same mistake
But as far as I'm concerned
Got myself to blame
Got to close to the flame
Now I've gone from burning to burned

Everyone knows
The old saying goes
That a fool in love
Never learns
But I guess I forgot
'Cause the fire was too hot...
Now I've gone from burning to burned

Oh I guess I forgot
'Cause the fire was too hot...
Now I've gone from burning to burned
