Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know, I would be untrue
And you know, it seems to me that I would be a liar
If I were to come up to you and say
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
[Verse 2]
Light my fire
Light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
[Verse 3]
The time for messin' around, children, is through now
And I ain't got time to wallow in the mire
(Huh ha ha, excuse me)
But darlin', we could only lose
Yeah
And and all our love become a funeral pyre
But all I want you to do is
[Verse 4]
Please, baby
Light my fire
Stick a match, stick a match to my fire
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Try to set the night on fire, oh
[Verse 5]
Light my fire
Please, please, please
Light my fire
Light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, oh
[Verse 6]
Teenie, play your guitar
[Verse 7]
Ooh
[Verse 8]
Baby, light my fire
All you gotta do is stick a match to my fire
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gotta set the night on fire
[Verse 9]
Baby, yeah
Baby
Oh, we're workin', y'all
We're workin', y'all
[Verse 10]
Baby
I can see see us
Comin' in the park
Doin' something mighty good in the dark
Baby
