He came walking into the bar
Looking every inch the rock star
He asked what they had on tap
I thought every neck was gonna snap
He said “Now what’s your name honey?”
Do you want to hear something funny?
Does your left eye have any sight?
Because you are looking so alright
My girl said he’s just a burner
He’ll throw you away when he’s done
But I sure didn’t turn ‘round and run
My heart was beating like Ike Turner
Burner
Burner
I said that I could handle it
That boy sure had my candle lit
I knew it would probably end badly
But it really didn’t matter sadly
I have always been a burner myself
So I could see it in someone else
So maybe we could make a go of this
Our night ended with a killer kiss
My girl said he’s just a burner
He’ll throw you away when he’s done
But I sure didn’t turn ‘round and run
My heart was beating like Ike Turner
Burner
Burner
Just take a look at my lovely boy
I am gonna use him as my pretty toy
Girl, I won’t even try to be coy
He has fallen for my every ploy
My girl said he’s just a burner
He’ll throw you away when he’s done
But I sure didn’t turn ‘round and run
My heart was beating like Ike Turner
I have never been a good learner
My heart is beating like Ike Turner
Burner
