I'm On Fire

I'm On Fire (B. Springsteen, 1984 ASCAP)

Hey, little girl, is your daddy home
Did he go and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
Oh, I'm on fire.
 
Tell me little baby, is he good to you?
Can he do to you the same things that I do
I can take you higher...
Oh, I'm on fire.
 
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
and cut a 6-inch valley through the middle of my skull
 
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you cool my desire
Oh, I'm on fire.
