Light My Fire Lyrics

[Verse 1: Minnie Riperton]
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I were to say to you
Ooh, we couldn't get much higher

[Chorus: Minnie Riperton]
C'mon baby light my fire
C'mon baby light my fire
Let's try to set the night on fire

[Verse 2: Minnie Riperton]
Ooh, the time for hesitations through
There's no time to wallow in the mire
Darling, we could only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

[Chorus: Minnie Riperton]
Ooh, c'mon baby light my fire, yeah
C'mon baby light my fire
Let's try to set the night on fire

[Verse 3: Minnie Riperton]
Oh, you know that it would be untrue
And you know that I would be a liar
If I were to say to you
Hey, daddy, we couldn't get much higher
[Chorus: Minnie Riperton]
Oh, c'mon baby light my fire, yeah
C'mon baby light my fire, oh
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
C'mon baby light my fire, oh
C'mon baby light my fire, yeah
Light my fire, light my fire, light my fire, yeah
Ooh, it's all I...

[Outro: Minnie Riperton, José Feliciano, Both]
Oh, listen, I'm here to light your fire, baby
'Cause you've been given me inspiration, darlin', yeah, oh oh
And I'm here to fill you with desire

Well, then fill me with desire
Ooh, light my fire
You light my fire, I'll light your fire, light your fire
Light your fire anytime you want
I'll get you higher, light your fire, ooh
If you let me, let me, let me, let me, oh oh oh

I'll let you, oh oh, oh oh
Come here and light my fire, baby baby, yeah
Ooh, whoa, you make me feel so good, so good, baby baby
Aye! Que rico esta hueso mirar, ooh baby, yeah
Ooh baby, yeah
Voy a prender ese fuego ese
Fuego caliente
Que cosa mas rico es asi mama
Que buena estas
Aye yeah

Eso es muy cierto muchacho
Que rico estas
Aye! Yeah
I just want you to know, Minnie, you light my fire, you know that?
You don't do too bad yourself, José
Ooh, it feels, it feels, it feels so nice
I'll light your fire, light your fire
Light your fire anytime you want
I'll get you higher, light your fire, ooh
If you let me, let me, let me, let me, oh oh oh
