The Ink Spots
i dont wanna set the world on fire (roughly 3 voices, inharmonically) [in the woods off of county road 54 outside of alliance alabama]
[Laughter, murmuring]
... Fucked up, like immediately! ... You should see them. ... I should
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
[Spoken]
"This song is fucked, I forgot"
"I dont wanna set the world on fire darling"
"you do?"
"I love you too much! I just wanna start, a great big ol' flame down in your heart. down inside of me. i have one desire,"
"what is it? pray tell."
"my one desire is you, buddy. ain't nobody ever else gonna 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
"woo! goddamn!"
"yay! one of my favorites, a standard."
