Burn My Candle (耗费精力) - Shirley Bassey

Who's got a match for a strikin'

Don't say it all depends

Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends

Who's got a light he's hidin', under a bush or fence

Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends

It's possible, it may not last a night

While it burns, what a wonderful light

Who'd like to play with fire

After they make amends

Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends

Who doesn't mind a reaper, after he's sewn wild oats

Who wants to take a chance and help me, burn my boats

Who's not a look, then leaper

Wanting a warning note

Who wants to take a chance and help me, burn my boats

It’s possible the pace may prove too hot

But then again it could happen it’s not

Who’d like to get in deeper

Not caring if he floats

Who wants to take a chance

And help me burn my boats

There’s S for scotch, that’s so direct

And for straight and simple sex

I for invitation too

Close relationship with you

N for nothing, that no less

S-I-N, that's sin I guess

Who’s got a good ignition

Waiting for dividends

Who wants to help me burn my candle

At both ends

Who’s really in condition

Won’t mind how much he spends

Who wants to help me burn my candle

At both ends

It may not last, but it’s all in the game, my friend

And while it burns what a fabulous flame

Who has an inhibition

Weaker than he pretends

Who has an urge to turn the handle

Open my door and spurn the scandal

Who wants to help me burn my candle

At both ends
