I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire Lyrics
I don't ever care to rise to power
I would rather be with you an hour
For the things that one can buy
Are not worth a lover's sigh
I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start a flame in your heart
In my heart I have but one desire
And that one is you, no other will do
I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim
I just want to be the one you love
And with your admission that you feel the same
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of, believe me
I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start a flame in your heart
I would rather be with you an hour
For the things that one can buy
Are not worth a lover's sigh
I just want to start a flame in your heart
In my heart I have but one desire
And that one is you, no other will do
I just want to be the one you love
And with your admission that you feel the same
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of, believe me
I just want to start a flame in your heart
