Light My Fire Lyrics

[Intro]
(Ooh, yeah)

[Verse 1]
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you, girl
We couldn't get much higher

[Chorus]
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

[Verse 2]
Oh, the time to hesitate is through
There's no time to wallow in the mire
If I was to say to you
That our love becomes a funeral pyre

[Chorus]
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh
Mm-mm, yeah
Oh
Light my fire, light my fire, yeah, yeah
Mm-mm, yeah
[Verse 3]
The time to hesitate is through
There's no time to wallow in the mire
Try now, we can only lose
And our love becomes a funeral pyre

[Chorus]
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Light my fire, light my fire, light my fire, oh, yeah
Light, light, light, light, light, light, yeah, girl
Ooh, you gotta do it, light my fire
You gotta light it, girl
You gotta light it, yeah
Light my fire, light my fire, light my fire, oh
Light, light, light, light, light, light, girl, girl, girl
Oh, you gotta do it
Do it, girl, do it, girl, girl, you gotta do it, yeah
Mm-mm, yeah, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
