Lyrics:

So you think you can own me, well you^?d better just think again
You^?d better watch you steps now, woman, cause I ain^?t like those other men
There^?s 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^?s things in life now, baby, that I know I^?ve 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^?d better just think again
You^?d better watch your steps now, woman, cause I ain^?t like those other men

So you think you can own me, well you^?d better just think again
You^?d better watch your steps now , woman, cause I ain^?t like those other men
There^?s 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^?t really sound like the typical maiden-sound.
It^?s only 2.41 minutes long and it hasn^?t got got a chorus
and that^?s very unusual for IRON MAIDEN-songs.
