Burning Up Lyrics » Madonna

[Verse 1]
Don’t put me off, ’cause I’m on fire
And I can’t quench my desire
Don’t you know that I’m burning up for your love?
You’re not convinced that that is enough
I put myself in this position
And I deserve the imposition
But you don’t even know I’m alive
And this pounding in my heart just won’t die
I’m burning up
[Chorus]
I’m burning up, burning up for your love
I’m burning up, burning up for your love
I’m burning up, burning up for your love
For your love
[Verse 2]
You’re always closing your door
Well, that only makes me want you more
And day and night, I cry for your love
You’re not convinced that that is enough
To justify my wanting you
Now tell me what you want me to do
I’m not blind, and I know
That you want to want me, but you can’t let go
C’mon, let go

About Madonna’s Burning Up from Madonna (1983)

Released in 1983, it was the second single from Madonna’s
self-titled debut album
.
It received mixed reviews from critics and
failed to do well
commercially. However, it did manage to chart at
#3
on
Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Songs
.
The music video was directed by
Steve Barron
, who also directed Michael Jackson’s
Billie Jean
the same year.
The video is notable for Madonna writhing passionately in the middle of a road, while her lover approaches from behind in his car. By the end, Madonna has ditched the man and is driving the vehicle with a smirk on her face,
implying that she’s in charge
. It is often seen as the beginning of the sexuality themes that would become common throughout her career.
Years later, Barron revealed that Madonna
almost died
during filming:
We were doing shots of her at night lying in a boat as she was singing. We had a seven-ton crane that stretched out over the lake with a camera on it, me and a grip. I was arranging to go right out over the top of her so that we could look straight down on her. The boat was anchored into position and the base of the crane was sitting sloped on this little boat ramp with massive wheels. I was asking, “Let’s get out right over the eyes” and we were about 15 feet above Madonna. I looked back at the ramp and the two back wheels had lifted off by about a foot and a half. No one had noticed. I looked back at it and yelled at the crane operator to stop. The thing teetered; just dropped backwards-and-forth, and he quickly jumped on the switch and started pushing us back, but he didn’t move very fast because you felt if you made any kind of movement, it would have taken that crane down. We were right on the midpoint balance and we would’ve come down on her. She would have been 100 percent dead. It was so close, and I never told her that night because I didn’t want to scare her. We would’ve been in a hospital for six months and she would’ve been dead. Definitely.
The song was
featured
in the the 1984 comedy-drama
The Wild Life
during a strip-club scene.

What did Madonna say about “Burning Up”?

Music video director, Steve Barron
said
:
I got a call from [producer] Simon [Fields] in Los Angeles and he said there’s a video to do for a reasonable budget and that this is going to be really big. I was on vacation and didn’t really want to get my head into something at that time. But [Madonna] was really keen on the “Billie Jean” video and I eventually agreed, begrudgingly. I had gotten the track and said I wouldn’t know what to do for that, because it didn’t have the atmosphere that I always look for in a song.
We shot for two nights in Los Angeles. I basically ended up doing a bunch of ideas from my ideas book as opposed to from the song mainly because I didn’t connect with it too much. It was a bit of a mish-mash of a video. She trusted me, definitely. She handed it over, which she probably shouldn’t have done in retrospect. But she obviously wanted to be very much in control of how she looked and how she was dressed. Her dress was the most important thing that she wanted to talk about.
