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


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.
