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.

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
