You know that i would be a liar

The song "Light My Fire" by Laurent Voulzy is a cover of the classic song by The Doors. It is a song about passion and urgency in love. The lyrics begin with the singer acknowledging the reality of the situation - he knows that it would be untrue if he were to say that they couldn't get much higher. He is proposing that they take their love to the next level, to light the fire of desire that will blaze through the night. The singer is practically begging his love interest to make this happen, to set their love on fire and not to hesitate. He knows that they could only lose if they don't try, and if they don't succeed, their love will become a funeral pyre - burned out and dead.
The repetition of the phrase "Come on baby, light my fire" throughout the song further emphasizes the urgency and passion of the singer. He wants his love interest to understand how strongly he feels about this and for her to reciprocate. The final verse repeats the beginning of the song, bringing the lyrics full circle - he knows that it would be untrue if he were to say that they couldn't get much higher. This final repetition of the phrase "Come on baby, light my fire" is a plea that they take the leap together and kindle the flame of their love.
