Lyrics

[Intro]

Alright

Now dig this, baby

[Verse 1]

You don't care for me

I don't a care about that

You got a new fool, ha!

I like it like that

I have only one burning desire

Let me stand next to your fire

[Chorus]

Let me stand next to your fire (Hey, let me stand next to your fire)

Let me stand next to your fire (Whoa, let me stand, baby)

Let me stand next to your fire (Let me stand)

Let me stand next to your fire (Yeah, baby)

[Verse 2]

Listen here, baby

And stop acting so crazy

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 itching desire

Let me stand next to your fire

[Chorus]

Let me stand next to your fire (Yeah, let me stand, baby)

Let me stand next to your fire (Let me stand)

Let me stand next to your fire (Oh, let me stand)

Let me stand next to your fire (Oh)

[Bridge]

Oh! Move over, Rover

And let Jimi take over

Yeah, you know what I'm talking 'bout

Yeah, get on with it, baby

[Verse 3]

That's what I'm talking 'bout

Now dig this, ha

Now listen, baby

You try to give me your money

You better save it, babe

Save it for your rainy day

I have only one burning desire

Let me stand next to your fire, ha

[Chorus]

Let me stand next to your fire (Oh, let me stand)

Let me stand next to your fire (Oh, let me stand, baby)

Let me stand next to your fire (I ain't gonna do you no harm)

Let me stand next to your fire (Oh)

[Outro]

Yeah, you better move over, baby

I ain't gonna hurt ya, baby

Ah, I ain't talkin' with your old lady

Oh, ah yes, this is Jimi talkin' to you

Yeah, baby
