  • Straight through you
    I burn, I burn
    My tongue rhymes one thing, for eager ears to hold on to
    You know I'll lie again
    You know I'll try again
    My words, ripping, tearing, straight through you

    [Chorus]
    I, I turn my back on you and I will, I will, I will shame you, shame you
    I, I've got no time for you and I will, I will, I will shame you, shame you

    I burn, I burn
    Let me touch you, let me get inside you
    All I feel, I can make it feel all so real
    You know I'll lie again
    You know I'll try again
    My words, ripping, tearing, straight through you

    [Chorus]

    No, don't you speak my name
    Don't you speak my name, I'm pain
    (Don't you speak my name, don't you speak my name)

    I, I turn my back on you and I will, I will shame you, shame you
    And I, won't hold against you if you never, never, never speak my name again

    [Chorus]

    Don't you speak my name, I will shame you, shame you Writer/s: GARY BARLOW, ROBERT PETER WILLIAMS
