I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start
A flame in your heart
In my heart I have but one desire
And that one is you
No other will doI've lost all ambition
For worldly acclaim
I just want to be the one you love
And with your admission
That you feel the same
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of, believe me
I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start
A flame in your heart
I don't wanna set the world on fire, honey. I love ya too much. I just wanna start a great big flame down in your heart. Ya see, way down inside of me, darlin', I have only one desire. And that one desire is you. And I know nobody else ain't gonna do.
I've lost all ambition
For worldly acclaim
I just want to be the one you love
And with your admission
That you feel the same
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of, believe me
I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start
A flame in your heart
