Bad Company

Songwriter: Mick Ralphs Charlie Jones

Producer: Keith Olsen

I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up for your love
I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up for your love
You let me down, turned me 'round, you messed around with my heart
What kind of woman with a smile on her face
Can tear your whole world apart, hey
I'm on fire, I feel it burnin' up, I'm on fire
I'm burnin' up, burnin' up, I'm burnin' up every night
I'm burnin' up, burnin' up, and burnin' up can feel so right
I see the smoke, I feel the heat, my life is going up in flames
How could you be so indiscrete, and still be so unashamed, hey
I'm on fire, I feel it burnin' up, I'm on fire
Hey you said you'd never leave me, you said we'd never be apart

You turned out to be a liar, and left me with a broken heart
Why did you do it babe, yeah

I'm on fire, I'm burnin' inside, I'm on fire, why did you do it baby
Ooh I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up for your love
Ooh I'm burnin' up, see I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up for your love
Watch me burn, see me burnin', 'cause my heart's on fire
Watch me burn, see me burnin' up for your love
Watch me burn, see me burnin' up for your love
Watch me burn...

Bad Company was not only formed as a supergroup from members of Free (Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke), Mott the Hoople (Mick Ralphs), and King Crimson (Boz Burrell), but also was immediately signed as the first act on Led Zeppelin’s new label, Swan Song.

So they had a charmed life, from the start. And they made good on everything it promised. They had so many hits we just don’t wanna type them all in with the fancy markup here, so just check them out for yourself, listed by popularity on this very page. Suffice it to say there are few hard blues-rock bands with more songs that hit the US charts.

Here’s one of them, Bad Company, by Bad Company, off the album Bad
