The Light
The nut Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You better hold on tight
Cause I'm gonna love you nice
I'm gonna do it right
Let me light a fire in you tonight

My eyes have never seen someone who looks like you
I wonder if you dream of my hands loving you
Because I know I do every day and every night
And I know I will lose control if I can't crush this appetite

This dream is eating me alive
This dream is eating me alive
Can't you see I'm burning inside?
I pray I will not be denied

Let's light a fire tonight
Let's play the music loud
Let's expand the flames up high
Let's burn it to the ground

You better hold on tight
Cause I'm gonna love you nice
I'm gonna do it right
Let me light a fire in you tonight

I've got a perfect plan to have you in my arms today
You are so well in doubt and there's no price I won't pay

This dream is eating me alive
This dream is eating me alive
Can't you see I'm burning up inside?
I pray I will not be denied

Let's light a fire tonight
Let's play the music loud
Let's expand the flames up high
Let's burn it to the ground

You better hold on tight
Cause I'm gonna love you nice
I'm gonna do it right
Let me light a fire in you tonight

This dream is eating me alive
This dream is eating me alive
Can't you see I'm burning up inside?
I pray I will not be denied

Let's light a fire tonight
Let's play the music loud
Let's expand the flames up high
Let's burn it to the ground

You better hold on tight
Cause I'm gonna love you nice




I'm gonna do it right
Let me light a fire in you tonight
