Lyrics:
So you think you can own me, well
you^Òd better just think again
You^Òd better watch you steps now,
woman, cause I ain^Òt like those other
men
There^Òs something burning inside me
that makes me want to be free
And when I get these feelings honey,
you better keep away from me
There^Òs things in life now, baby, that
I know I^Òve got to do
And I need your love now, baby, to help
me see it through
So you think you can own me, well
you^Òd better just think again
You^Òd better watch your steps now,
woman, cause I ain^Òt like those other
men
So you think you can own me, well
you^Òd better just think again
You^Òd better watch your steps now ,
woman, cause I ain^Òt like those other
men
There^Òs something burning inside me
that makes me want to be free
And when I get these feelings honey,
you better keep away from me
OSKAR WIGREN 1996-12-23
BURNING AMBITION is one of my favourite
Iron Maiden-songs.
It doesn^Òt really sound like the
typical maiden-sound.
It^Òs only 2.41 minutes long and it
hasn^Òt got got a chorus
and that^Òs very unusual for IRON
MAIDEN-songs.
