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 want to set the world on fire, honey

I love it too much

I just want to start a great, big flame

Down in your heart

You 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

Believe me

I don’t want to set the world on fire

I just want to start a flame in your heart!
