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 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

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

Which for me is always followed by a memory of standing next to War as he says, "Why do they always say I never change? I can change..."
