Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well all right, now dig this
[Verse 2]
You don't care for me, I don't care about that
You got a new fool, ha, I like it like that
I have only one burning desire
Oh, can I make love with your fire?
[Verse 3]
Let me stand next to your fire (Fire, fire, fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (Smokey, smokey fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (Please, that fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (Oh, yeah)
[Verse 4]
Now listen to this, baby
And stop acting so crazy
[Verse 5]
You say your mom ain't home, it ain't my concern
Just don't play with me and you won't get burned
I have only one burning desire
Ah, girl let me do it in your fire
[Verse 6]
Let me stand next to your fire (Funky, funky fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (Oh girl, your fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (Please, fire, fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (Oh, yeah)
[Verse 7]
Oh, move over, rover
And let Mr. Huckleberry take over
You know he's bad, you know he jams
You know he gives it to you, yeah
[Verse 8]
That's right, now dig this
[Verse 9]
Don't try to give me no money
You better save it, babe
Save it for your rainy day
I have only one burning desire
Oh, I'm gonna get all over your fire
[Verse 10]
Let me stand next to your fire (Funky, funky fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (Let me stand by your)
Let me stand next to your fire (Oh girl, your fire)
Let me stand next to your fire
[Verse 11]
You better slide your ass over, girl
'Cause I'm coming through once
And I'm coming through once real hard
