I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire
Igniting Hearts: The Sublime Desire in "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire" by The Ink Spots
Lyrics
I don't want to set the world on fire
I don't want to initiate a global catastrophe or cause chaos
I just want to start a flame in your heart
I simply desire to ignite passion or love within you
In my heart I have but one desire
My heart holds only one wish
And that one is you, no other will do
That wish is for you specifically, no one else can replace you
I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim
I've abandoned all aspirations for fame or success in the world
I just want to be the one you love
All I want is to be the person you love
And with your admission that you'd feel the same
If you also acknowledge loving me back
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of, believe me
It would fulfill the ultimate dream I have, trust me
I don't want to set the world on fire
I don't wish to cause destruction globally
I just want to start a flame in your heart
My sole intention is to ignite a passion in your heart
I don't want to set the world on fire, honey
I'm not interested in causing widespread chaos, dear
I love you too much
My love for you is immense
I just want to start a great big flame down in your heart
I just want to kindle a powerful affection within you
You see, way down deep inside of me, darling
You see, at the core of my being, darling
I have only one desire
I have only one longing
And that one desire is you
And that longing is for you
And I know, baby, ain't nobody else gonna do
I'm certain, baby, that no one else can replace you
I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim
I have given up all desires for worldly recognition
I just want to be the one you love
All I desire is to be the person you love
And with your admission that you'd feel the same
If you also confirm reciprocal feelings
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of, believe me
It would fulfill the ultimate dream I have, trust me
I don't want to set the world on fire
I have no intention of causing chaos globally
I just want to start a flame in your heart
My sole aim is to ignite a passion in your heart
