Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you, girl
We couldn't get much higher
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Oh, the time to hesitate is through
There's no time to wallow in the mire
If I was to say to you
That our love becomes a funeral pyre
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh
Light my fire, light my fire
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, yeah
The time to hesitate is through
There's no time to wallow in the mire
Try now, we can only lose
And our love becomes a funeral pyre
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Oh, come on, baby light my fire
Come on, baby, light, light my fire
Light my fire, light my fire, light my fire
Oh, oh, light, light, light, light, light, light
Yeah, girl, all you gotta do is light my fire
You gotta light, girl, you gotta light
Light my fire, light my fire, light my fire
Oh, yeah, light, light, light, light, light, light, girl
All you gotta do is do it, girl, do it girl
Girl, you gotta do it, yeah, yeah
Ooh, oh yeah.
The song "Light My Fire" by Will Young talks about the passion between two individuals who are in love. The lyrics speak of how the man is totally smitten by the woman, and anything he says or does would be untrue if he were to try to hide how he feels. The song emphasizes the man's desire to be close to his lover and to take their passion higher. The chorus, "Come on baby, light my fire, try to set the night on fire," is a call to the woman to take action and follow her passion.
The second verse acknowledges that there is no time for hesitation, and they need to seize the moment while they can. The lyrics of "There's no time to wallow in the mire" are an encouraging message to his lover to take a chance with him. If she hesitates, they will lose the opportunity, and their love will be nothing more than a funeral pyre. The chorus repeats, calling for the fire to be lit and their passion to be ignited.
