Thread Name: Grovelling Songs (Male?)
Subject: Lyr Add: LIGHT MY FIRE (The Doors)
JenEllen mentioned this on 14-Oct-2003. Sorry, I don't see this as grovelling. This is mere exhortation. Grovelling needs to have a "pity me" component; I don't see any of that.


LIGHT MY FIRE
As recorded by The Doors on "The Doors"

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!
