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!

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!
