I'm on Fire
Passion's Inferno: Unveiling the Burning Desires in 'I'm on Fire'
Lyrics
Hey little girl is your daddy home
Questioning if the girl's father is present
Did he go away and leave you all alone
Suggesting the possibility that the father has left the girl alone
I got a bad desire
Expressing a strong, possibly inappropriate, desire
I'm on fire
Reiterating the intense desire, "I'm on fire"
Tell me now baby is he good to you
Asking if the girl's current partner treats her well
Can he do to you the things that I do
Questioning the partner's abilities compared to the speaker
I can take you higher
Claiming the ability to elevate the girl's experience
I'm on fire
Reiterating the intense desire, "I'm on fire"
It's like someone took a knife
Describing a painful feeling, as if cut by a knife
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Detailing the knife's impact on the speaker's head
Through the middle of my skull
Metaphorically conveying emotional pain and turmoil
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
Depicting a restless and troubled sleep
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Describing the overwhelming thoughts in the speaker's mind
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 intense desire, "I'm on fire"
Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire
Reiterating the intense desire, "I'm on fire"
Hey little girl is your daddy home
Repeating the initial question about the girl's father
Did he go away and leave you all alone
Repeating the suggestion that the father may have left
I got a bad desire
Reiterating the intense desire, "I'm on fire"
Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire
Repeating the intense desire, "I'm on fire"
Tell me now baby is he good to you
Repeating the inquiry about the girl's current partner
Can he do to you the things that I do
Reiterating the comparison of abilities between the speaker and the partner
I can take you higher
Repeating the claim of being able to elevate the girl's experience
Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire
Reiterating the intense desire, "I'm on fire"
I'm on fire
Emphasizing the intense desire, "I'm on fire"
I'm on fire
-I'm on fire
