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

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

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah

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

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

    Once you reach a certain age this song can have more than one meaning. Last night I had to have a man "light my fire" (i.e. a never used backyard fire pit). This song was perfect :) The Doors were one of my favorite college bands back in the 80's; their music wasn't old then and I doubt it ever will be due to Jim Morrison's amazing talent. How I would love a date (a type of threesome:) with Jim Morrison; Freddy Prince; and Tim Buckley. Man, we would shoot the bull all night long. I would be in Heaven (and quite literally, I suppose, due to all three greats no longer being with us.)
