Lyrics
Announcer : The Jimi Hendrix Experience sounding off again now with one of
Jimi's own called Fire!)
1st verse :
You don't care for me, I don't care about that.
Ya' got a new fool, I like it like that.
I have only one a burnin' desire.
Let me stand next to your pyre!
Chorus : (Background vox sing : Let me stand next to your fire!)
Let me stand baby.
Oh let me stand.
Ya' got to let me stand.
Aw shucks!
Yeah!
2nd verse :
Ya' say your mom ain't home, ya can't let me in.
Well I had you before, I don't need you again.
I have only one a burnin' desire.
Let me stand next to your fire!
1x Chorus
Bridge :
Move over Rover
And let Jimi take over.
You know what I'm talking about!
That's what I'm talking about!
Guitar solo
3rd verse :
Ya try to give me your money, you better save it babe.
Save it for a rainy day.
I have only one a burnin' desire,
Let me stand next to your fire!
