Cover art for I'm on Fire (Bruce Springsteen cover) lyrics by John Mayer

I have listened to this son on repeat and looked up the lyrics because "little girl" and "daddy" threw me off as I fig this wasnt a pedophile song. I also saw its a cover to Bruce's music !

Brilliant lyrics and love John Mayers arrangement even more so.

It seems that this guy previously knew this girl or had seen her before and when asking if her daddy's home he was checking on her. He asks if her daddys good to her and knows that he could treat her better and be better to her.

He is tormented so much that he sweats on the sheets at night while sleeping and dreaming of having her. Obsessed.

He is on fire with passion for her. The pain effects his brain and thinking.
