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 don't want to set the world on fire, honey
I love you too much
I just want to start
A great big flame
Down in your heart

You see
Way down inside of me
Darlin', I have only one desire
And that one desire is you
And I know
Nobody else ain't 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
