[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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

[Outro]
Oh I guess I forgot
Cause the fire was too hot[?]
Now I've gone from burning to burned

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
