Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I've got a bad desire
oh, I'm on fire

Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
Can he do to you these things that I do?
I can take you higher
oh, I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with my sheets soaking wet
and a freight train running through the middle of my head
only you can cool my desire
oh, I'm on fire
