[Verse 1]
E
Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
                                                A
Did he go and leave you all alone now?
             C#m
I got a bad desire;
A       B          E
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire.
 
[Verse 2]
E
Tell me pretty baby is he good to you?
                                                A
Can he do to you the things that I do now?
               C#m
I can take you higher;
A       B          E
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire.

[Verse 3]
                   C#m
Sometimes it feels like someone took a knife
 
baby edgy and dull, and cut a
                            A
six-inch valley through the middle of my skull.
 
[Verse 4]
   E
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet,
 
And a freight train running through the
             A
middle of my head.
               C#m
It can cool my desire.
 
[Outro]
A       B          E
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire. 
A       B          E
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire. 
A       B
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire. 
 
Mmmmhmmm, yeah.
