She's On Fire
Bo Saris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I am, I'm just a man
I like to tell you something
I don't understand
Oh there's something out there
That I've never ever seen
The most delicate creature
She will be the queen of the streets
A precious love that is lifting me higher
But I don't even know her name

Oohh she's on fire
She's every man's dream and my desire
She's like the candy like your daddy told you, you can't touch
Ohhh she's on fire
Just tell me how do I make her love me and still stay loyal to the game

The streets a jungle
But I'm prepared
To do what's necessary
To be her man
I don't care bout the consequences I'll stick to the plan
I'll become your superhero
Yeah I'm super bad

A precious love that is lifting me higher
But I don't even know her name

Oohh she's on fire
She's every man's dream and my desire
She's like the candy like your daddy told you, you can't touch
Ohhh she's on fire
Just tell me how do I make her love me and still stay loyal to the game

Oh I'm flying, when she's lying in my bed, oh in my bed oohhh

Oohh she's on fire
She's every man's dream and my desire
She's like the candy like your daddy told you, you can't touch
Ohhh she's on fire
Just tell me how do I make her love me and still stay loyal to the game

Oohh she's on fire
She's every man's dream and my desire
She's like the candy like your daddy told you, you can't touch




Ohhh she's on fire
Just tell me how do I make her love me and still stay loyal to the game

Could listen to this day after day, just such a great tune. <3

@REALLYMAD6364

One of the best songs ever!!
Why was this never released in the UK?
And why isn't there a karaoke version available??? Absolutely criminal!

@lorrainemcmahon969

Because America rules . Despite they do suck

@marcelalbers6361

Wat een schitterende hit met een waanzige stem van een Venlose jongen! Was hij Amerikaan geweest, had hij allang bij Motown onder contract gestaan! Onnederlands goed! Pas live gezien in zijn hometown Venlo op de Zomerparkfeesten: Live minstens zo goed als in deze clip! Moet toch ook de Top 2000 in!! Keep the soul alive, Boris!!

@imko5637

I heard this song in Next when I was 17 with my best friend. And we loved it. This was 4 years ago and we still remember it fondly.
Thanks Bo x
P.S You are on fire

@sannie9769
