I'm on Fire
Passionate Desires Ignite in 'I'm on Fire'
Lyrics
Hey little girl is your daddy home
Asking if the girl's father is present
Did he go away and leave you all alone
Inquiring if her father left her alone
I got a bad desire
Expressing a strong, possibly inappropriate desire
I'm on fire
Reiterating the intense desire, stating "I'm on fire"
Tell me now baby is he good to you
Checking if the girl's current partner treats her well
Can he do to you the things that I do
Questioning if the partner can match the speaker's actions
I can take you higher
Claiming the ability to elevate her experience
I'm on fire
Reiterating the intense desire, stating "I'm on fire"
It's like someone took a knife
Using vivid imagery to describe emotional pain
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Metaphorically describing the pain as a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my skull
Continuing the metaphor of a knife causing pain
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
Describing waking up in emotional distress
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Using a train metaphor for the intensity of the speaker's thoughts
Only you can cool my desire
Stating that only the girl can satisfy the speaker's desire
Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire
Repeating the phrase "I'm on fire" to emphasize desire
Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire
Repeating the phrase "I'm on fire" for emphasis
Hey little girl is your daddy home
Repeating the initial inquiry about the girl's father
Did he go away and leave you all alone
Repeating the question about her father leaving her alone
I got a bad desire
Reiterating the intense desire, stating "I'm on fire"
Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire
Repeating the phrase "I'm on fire" for emphasis
Tell me now baby is he good to you
Repeating the inquiry about her current partner
Can he do to you the things that I do
Reiterating the question about the partner's abilities
I can take you higher
Claiming the ability to take her to a higher level
Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire
Repeating the phrase "I'm on fire" for emphasis
I'm on fire
Repeating the intense desire, stating "I'm on fire"
I'm on fire
Repeating the phrase "I'm on fire" for emphasis
I'm on fire
