Simple things like
Your overcoat and your beauty
That's still burnin' me
Let me hang around
Even if it's just some way to have
Some common burn
A common burn

So I spend the night in someone's house
That you clouted
Oh simple me that you fled
But we have that in common

That common burn
That common burn

Oh well, heavens, I have said so many times before
You could sit around and have everything that you scored
Just don't come home and say you've been asleep
When you know you're burnin' someone

That common burn
That common burn
